In response to this situation, we were asked to design the new temporary cathedral. Paper tubes of the equal length and 20 ft containers form a triangular shape.

Since geometry is decided by plan and elevations of the original cathedral, there is a gradual change in each angle of paper tubes. This cathedral, which has a capacity of 700 people, can be used as an event space and a concert space.
