De ce fac localnicii această recomandare
A radical interpretation of church architecture, this 1971 building achieves what most good cathedrals do: surprise and awe inside. Travertine stone lends a classical Italian grandeur to the exterior, while on the inside, the medieval tradition of stained-glass windows shows up in an unusual form, as an equilateral cross hovering above. The building was designed by a pair of Italians—engineer Pier Luigi Nervi and architect Pietro Belluschi—and takes inspiration from the Italian futurists of the early 20th century.
Sugestii de la localnici
Say a little prayer as you are astounded by this wonder of architecture. Walk the labyrinth, this meditative exercise is meant to bring about relaxation and self-awareness. The labyrinth is a replica of the one at Chartres Cathedral in France.
