Description of the text provided by the architects. In the small town of Ibarak, 25km outside of Tokyo, Japan, stands one of the architectural works of the signature of Ando, the church of light. The church of light embraces Ando’s philosophical framework between nature and architecture by the way in which light can define and create new spatial perceptions also, if not more, like that of its concrete structures. Completed in 1989, the church of light was a renovation of an existing Christian compound in the base complex. The new church was the first phase of a complete overhaul of the site-later completed in 1999-under the aesthetic of Ando’s design.
