Church of the Light , Osaka , Japan Designed by Tadao Ando

This is a real example of form which follows function . Tadao Ando has merged architecture and nature to create a cruciform of light which is pure magic . Using the medium of concrete which is simply glued-together earth , the course nature of the concrete is managed in such a mannered way that makes this otherwise plain space exquisite . Completed in 1989 , the Church of the Light was a renovation to an existing Christian compound in Ibaraki .
