The Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, CA, 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 and Merrill, 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. This richly illustrated monograph presents the first cathedral to be designed and built entirely in the twenty-first century.
