Some architectures do not belong to any period and not lose the meaning with the time.I think St.Mary's Cathedral must be the one of them. Although the materials and technologies of building to make people know that it was a building in 20th-century. People absolutely can not recognize whether the building is new construction or 50 years ago.
Kenzo Tange conceived the concrete structure, his idea is simple,but the structure very complex . When people see this building can be think of a bird's wings .
Building structure consisting of eight walls, these walls also act as the role of the roof, the interior space around the church, the only opening space is a large vertical gap. The walls stretch toward the sky , and square ground floor and roof crossed. The wing has different height ,become a kind of asymmetry in the whole building .
Stone material and metal wings become a contrast. The side entrance of ceiling is very low, link to the main hall. Lighting effects on the walls curve is changing in different time, creating a special atmosphere of the room,I think this is a bright design idea in this building.the light of direct and diffuse generated on curved surfaces, people can clear see curve design concrete. Fissures opening and roof have four windows,in this way,the plenty of light shines into the church.
