The amazing St. Mary’s Cathedral in Tokyo, completed 1964, is the second portrait of japanese architecture. The architect Kenzo Tange designed a shape of eight hyperbolic parabolas to create a wonderful space of concrete and light in the style of brutalism.
The St. Mary’s Cathedral in Tokyo and San Francisco are quite familiar in the language of architecture. Have a look to the photos of the buildings by Kenzo Tange and Pier Luigi Nervi.
