The Church of Light was designed by Tadao Ando. This building was built in 1989, in the city of Ibaraki, Osaka. The Church of Light is a rather small structure, with the major construction of concrete and glass. The concrete panels on the sides covers majority of the walls, however there are gaps in between each corner to provide light into the space of the church. Furthermore, there is a large cross located on the far side of the building's wall, which would eventually break down over time, and it is the perfect exposure to the natural elements. When the concrete walls break down, vegetation would start growing in due to the strong exposure, and then across the timber floor which results in rotting.
