This design for a new cathedral in Strasbourg, France is a monumental one because of its scale and and the nature of its materials. The structure is made up of a series of unfolded concrete arches that create majestic volumes of light for the interior spaces. The floor plan of the building is an abstraction of traditional Gothic Cathedral, composed in the form of a Latin cross. The scale of the project heightens the massive nature of the building that comes from its heavy material.
