Three Selected Buildings

Church of Light - 1989
Tadao Ando


Church of light is a simple looking building solely constructed from concrete. The cross-shaped void allows light to pass through and illuminates the walls of the church.

Sabarmati Ashram - 1917
Charles Correa



Accommodated mostly by Gandhi, this Ashram is solely constructed using brick and wooden louvered screens with stone floors and ceramic tile roofs.

Brazilian Museum of Sculpture - 1985-88
Paulo Mendes da Rocha 


This museum is mostly made up of concrete slabs that integrates with the topography/internal spaces of the building. Besides internal spaces; the roof space is also functional.
