It is hard for some people to imagine architect of the World Trade Center, one of the icons of modernism buildings, had designed such an organic building.

This temple is shaped like a tent

Its elegant shape is a masterpiece of engineering. The reinforced concrete frame with the tension ring holds the building up.

The natural light coming into sanctuary through the glass wall provides a sense of calmness to this space

It is the most dramatic skylight I have even encountered. It has a "larger than life" effect for people attending the worship
