Architectural Design @ Stanford

CEE 130: Architectural Design: 3-D Modeling, Methodology, and Process students went on a hard hat tour of the Cathedral of Christ The Light in Oakland.

Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM) is the design firm, and Craig Hartman is the design architect. Two other architects working extensively on this project -Eric Keune and David Diamond-gave us an overview powerpoint of the project and a tour of the site.
