The church is built in 1989, located in the city of Ibaraki, Osaka Prefecture, and it is designed by Tadao Ando. The structure is made mostly out of wood and concrete, concrete is used to reinforce the walls and the wood is used to make doors, tables, and flooring.  The 15-inch concrete call is used to “zone oneself within society”. When Tadao Ando designs buildings he usually incorporates zen philosophies in this work, so he expresses the dual nature of existence. Using the light and the solid as a contrast. 

I find this building interesting because when the funds ran out Tadao decide to design the church without a roof but with the help of the people that are devoted to the church and the construction company, he was able to raise enough funds to finish the building with a roof. It shows that architecture needs to be flexible and be conservative with its design because funding is one of the big factors that can’t be overlooked.
