Honor Award
Project: Cathedral of Christ the Light
Location: Oakland. Calif.
Architect: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP
The jury stated, “The cathedral demonstrates what is possible when a client is clear in their mission and willing to take risks with the architect in order to achieve it. This project is the true embodiment of what architecture strives to be. The contemplative design shows elegant restraint as well as a tactile materiality of place. The transcendent light conveys the meaning and the spirituality of the space through its architecture. The porosity of the facade elevates one’s experience, creating a feeling of lightness.”
