主日这一天，分享一座美丽的天主教堂

这个星期日我要歌颂上帝，哈利路亚！

这是一个美好的周日。当我呼吸着新鲜的空气，欣赏这世界的美好的时候，我的心要醉了！

要感谢天父给了我无数的恩赐，无数的祝福。神爱世人，爱你，爱我，爱世界上每一个人，爱他的每一个他的奇妙的创作。

 

和朋友们分享一座美丽的建筑。Cathedral of Christ the Light

 

这是一座美丽的天主教教堂，坐落与美国加利福尼亚州的OAKLAND市。它是我曾经工作过的一家世界顶级建筑事务所的重量作品。他的主要设计师是国际著名的建筑师，CRAIG HARTMAN先生。他的项目管理者是我曾经的一为学兄。他们都是非常优秀的人才，参与了一些非常重要的设计工作。这是我们公司的一次竞标项目，在一些建筑设计当中，他脱颖而出。这项竞赛，就连著名西班牙建筑师SANTIAGO CALATRAVA也没有采用。

这坐教堂的设计非常新颖。他是一个“上帝之眼”的概念，是现代版的PANTHEON。采用的材料是非常轻盈环保的材料，温暖的色彩，轻盈的木材。巧妙地采用了日常的光，也非常新颖地将现代几何以及材料技术完美结合。它具有巧妙的结构，数学感的光影运用，以及科学的空气流动，保暖，音响效果。其细节可以看到整体简单而饱和的形体风格，总体视觉上又非常有层次感，并不单调，繁简相应，是优秀的设计。这坐建筑打破了旧派那种沉闷的宗教感，那种令人恐惧的感觉。而渗透了一种跨越感，体现多民族多文化互助互信的二十一世纪文明气质。这是一种科学与灵性交融的非物质特征，理性与领悟的和谐，空灵，乐观，而充满了希望之光。当人类社会以理性的思考探索宇宙的奥秘，当我们用自己与生具来的智慧来突破死亡的困惑，我们就会重生，达到一种超越物质的境界，迎接那来自宇宙主宰的光辉与胜利。

这是一座OAKLAND地区的罗马天主教堂。它也是二十一世界的第一坐教堂。它体现新的神学的领悟，更深更高的理性的信仰态度。也带我们进入一个崭新的世纪，一个充满探索和兴奋未来的时代！

下面是一段非常详细的专业评论，摘自建筑学网站。

Oakland, California's cathedral, Oakland Cathedral of Christ the Light, is the first cathedral built in the 21st century. It has been abstracted into a modern structure still holding to an International style approach. Aside from a glowing, 58 foot tall perforated Romanesque Christ on aluminum panels, the interior is free of the traditional iconography often populating the walls of Catholic churches. The cathedral serves as a symbol of spiritual connectivity through the interaction of light and materiality. A reinforced concrete base holds a 136 foot ascension of glass, wood, and steel. Light passes through the effortless structure, fully illuminating its interior. The manipulation of light within the cathedral is an echo of the European and Gothic cathedrals in which the church used light as a vehicle for awe. A theatrical play of light through elaborate stained glass windows was a way of making the earth-bound feel connected to a higher power.

Oakland's Cathedral manages to maintain both an ephemeral and connective quality. As such, it is an architectural paradox. Architecture is a transient object. It may give the illusion of permanence, but it is impermanent. The Cathedral of Christ the Light appears weightless and fragile, yet it will stand for centuries to come. It is built with sustainably harvested douglas fir wood, which is structurally elastic and resilient to seismic events. A seismic base isolation system stabilizes the structure during earthquakes with a steel friction-pendulum moving in rhythmic motions. Still a distant cry to the immortal structure, but inspiring all the same. With the alternative utilization of materials in structure and redefining what architecture can be, we may someday have a building which will live forever, which is in itself a contradiction.
