Awesome photo , thanks .

The architect who has been working on this project for the last long while ( I can't exactly remember , but a long time ) gave a presentation at the UofC a few years back . Amazing stuff , especially how the original model was built upside down . I can't wait to see it in person . Cheers ...

Am I the only one that thinks that cathedral is hideous looking?

Is that the same cathedral raj2 posted photos of last year?

Honestly, I thought it was hideous before as well. But once you actually see it in person and walk inside, it's the second craziest Cathedral I've ever seen (first being St. Peter's Basilica), and it definitely grows on you. In Barcelona, you see a ton of Gaudi inspired creations all over the city. So I guess seeing those adds to the taste and culture of the city and Cathedral.

Inside, it feels like you're part of the Super Mario 64 world.

Lol no you aren't. I understand it's an architectural art philosophy, so maybe I don't get it either.
