Summary: the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, California, completed in 2008, examines the meaning of a cathedral at the dawn of the third millennium and its implications for sacred space and architectural form. Designed by Craig W. Hartman of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, it combines ancient geometries drawn from nature and early Christian metaphors with the most contemporary methods of computational design to create a luminous, welcoming structure for its multicultural, Pacific Rim city. Since its completion, the Cathedral of Christ the Light has attracted international acclaim for its architecture, its relationship between urban and natural ecologies, and the re imagining of sacred space for contemporary society.
