Unfortunately they have voted not to create a replica of the stunning old cathedral, they are going to make a permanent modern building :-( <br /><br />In someways it reminds me of that American Air Force cadet chapel, near Colorado Springs.Lord Cowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022567039394790375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-39301554127916652852013-11-15T12:58:28.703-05:002013-11-15T12:58:28.703-05:00Just got back from Italy where the structures are ...Just got back from Italy where the structures are so well kept for being centuries old. A cardboard build is brilliant, and I could worship anywhere beauty lies, no matter the construction or no construction, like in nature.

I like the new look, at least it doesn't look commercial like a cafeteria.<br /> What has happened to this world. <br />I agree there are churches that last 500 years and 50 yrs sounds like bribes under the table.<br /> Same thing with the roads in America, deals made for sloppy work. We spend more money repairing. No one gives their ALL anymore, it's as little as possible. They have no pride.<br />This was a great post.La Petite Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553902574516930172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-10700744728256118352013-11-14T14:29:12.678-05:002013-11-14T14:29:12.678-05:00Strongheart -it was built this way for structural ...Strongheart -it was built this way for structural reasons and because of the limitations of the temporary materials used.

The reason we don't have buildings like 100 years ago (which we all admire) is they were built to LAST while today everything is done as inexpensively and quickly as possible.ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-30696153580828618662013-11-14T14:01:10.471-05:002013-11-14T14:01:10.471-05:00It's a very nice building, but I do not unders...It's a very nice building, but I do not understand why it is a triangle. Catholic churches have the traditional required shape of a Latin Cross and the nave pointing east so the rising sun shine on the altar. And there are steps to the altar to symbolize the spirit ascent to Christ. Such are some of the requirements for a Roman Catholic Church. Maybe it is not for a Catholic Church?Stronghearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422789808104688654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-27504423375559848512013-11-14T09:10:01.250-05:002013-11-14T09:10:01.250-05:00Absolutely I could worship there.

In the South where we have heavy rainfall and tornadoes, not to mention hurricanes and the occasional ice storm and snowfall, I'm not sure it would even work temporarily. Still I am drawn to it. Not sure why. Maybe the clean lines. Or maybe the thought that like a dream, it will pass fleetingly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-19862199090883450282013-11-13T18:39:35.767-05:002013-11-13T18:39:35.767-05:00Absolutely!

(And I agree with you about the dismaying tendency for buildings to be replaced so quickly. Here in St. Petersburg, we have a pier that has been a prime tourist attraction, but is now being torn down. It was built in the 1970s!)Mark D.
