Resurrection of another kind

Hey… The father, son, and holy ghost need an upgrade too. Neo-Gothic architecture can get on your nerves after two millennia. WVA Architects (the guys who made this) gave the church a much needed revisit with a very Frank Lloyd Wright-ish vibe. Designed on a waterfront, the Zhangjiagang church just epitomizes “pristine”. The holy trinity is reinforced by the three structures/buildings within the church grounds.

All in all, I really like the modern reimagination. The new steeple looks really iconic. The modernized stained glass art couldn’t be more appropriate! A perfect church for the second coming, don’t you think?!

Beautiful, isn’t it? You’re looking at the future Yongqing International Clothing City, a self sustaining micro-city sized fashion industry within the Hebei Province in China.

Situated within the city of Langfang, and at a convenient distance from Beijing and Tianjin, this city is designed to be a fast, efficient, and internationally acclaimed fashion hub. Its schematic takes inspiration from the leaf, laying out roadways much like the veins you see on leaves. The city planning is meticulous, accounting for every detail.
