amazing!
The 2 first images are amazing. I thought for a moment that they were the finale church.
Imagine, praying there, christening your kid, imagine getting married there on top of this platform, so close to the sky !!!
This is a brilliant demonstration….. i wish we could have more such construction process pictures for the amazing buildings we see here…………
how smart an architect could be! well, perhaps together with the contractor, and curtain wall consultant maybe. a wonderful piece indeed!
yeah brillant demonstration …
This is a great church. The write-up in ArchRecord is also interesting…
When sunlight touch the people in the interior,God touch your heart…
