How to build a Cathedral, part 5

Christ the Light Cathedral in Oakland, CA, mid June 2007

This is a view from the opposite side. This will eventually be the main entrance to the cathedral. I work in the building on the left of the picture. When I took this I was standing by Lake Merritt.

A better view of the structural support for the organ pipes. This part was designed by Studio Under Manufacture of Oakland.

A view of the ceiling of the cathedral. Eventually the wooden platform will be removed and the ceiling will be an Oculus. Nearly all the 26 curved Douglas fir ribs are now in place.
