Modern Church Architecture in Bolivia. Sorta.
Oh, my goodness! Via Amy Welborn I learn of a surviving genius of Bavarian baroque! Go look at the slide show before it goes behind the New York Times archive-wall -- it's great! Fr. Sebastian Obermaier has built about 80 churches in the city of El Alto, Bolivia, and they all look like fun. You couldn't do this in America - building code would stop you - but it would be good to try.
A visiting friend said "It's like Ave Maria Grotto, only life size!" I do hope you know what Ave Maria Grotto is. If you don't, you've probably never been to Cullman, AL. Not that many people have been to Cullman . . . .
