Architects and designers from S OM have managed to build the most modern cathedral in the world, which has a completely unique look compared to conventions in the field. The dynamic design of this modern cathedral is highly appreciated worldwide but at the same time heavily criticized by conservative priests and pastors who believe that this aspect deviates from church canons.
Being built in a very avant-garde way, the "Christ of Light" ("Hristos al Luminii") Cathedral is an example to be considered for any type of building, not just those with religious purposes.
Glass and stainless steel are the predominant elements on the exterior, which catch the attention of anyone passing through the city of Oakland, California, and the interior is very welcoming, with wood being omnipresent in the decor.
This place of worship for American Christians has caused a stir in the religious world, as such concepts are not considered to have a place "in the house of the Lord". However, the cathedral has become one of the city's attractions and receives more and more visitors annually.
