Modern St Mary Cathedral By Kenzo Tange

There are some buildings that do not belong to any time or age. This building is very modern with the best design and beautiful appearance. Materials and technologies make it recognizable as a project of the 20th century, but we could easily say that this project has been built yesterday the same as 50 years ago. The materials of this building are very tough and the best. The eight walls – the elements which hold the whole structure – are at the same time roof and walls, enclosing the space and opening to the outside through vertical gaps. The walls are curved hyperbolically to express the tension to the sky, and turning the rhomboidal ground floor into a cross at the roof top. This building has wide space inside, it can used for thousands people to pray. This building has good interiors that make the atmosphere quieter to pray. This building has beautiful appearance from the outside. It has wide parking lot.
