Cathedral of Christ The Light, Oakland

Listen up. ,This is important.




On the shores of Lake Merritt is arising the new Cathedral for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oakland.



The Bishop's new house has been designed by Craig Hartman, with structural engineering by Bill Baker, both of SOM - San Francisco. The structure is the architecture, and it all will be highlighted by the glass skin. It's a stunner!



Forget the funny-looking eccentric stainless-steel off-balance jokes currently being designed and built around the world. They are nothing.

This Cathedral may well be the first significant building of the 21st Century.
