@MyLordBebo Americans when seeing incontrovertible signs of Chinese superiority;
- It’s fake (can’t trust chyna)
- Americans already have it
- Wat about tittymen/yogurt?
- But at what cost?
This might be one of the most beautiful churches in the world and it's situated in... Chengdu, China.
It's called the Shadowless Church (无影教堂) and it was designed entirely by Chinese architects (Shanghai Dachuan Architects, 上海大椽建筑设计事务所) as part of a bigger project called the "Sino-French Agricultural Science and Technology Park (中法农业科技园)."
The aim was to build a place that reflected "an inner understanding of the French spirit" and, as a Frenchman, I have to say they did an extraordinary job.
There is a French philosopher, Paul Ricoeur, who wrote around the concept that we can only truly understand ourselves through "the long detour" of our relationship with others (which those who've followed me for a while know is a concept very close to my heart). This church is a beautiful illustration of that idea.
