eco-cathedral

Louis Le Roy began the eco-cathedral thirty years ago in the dutch town of Mildam.
It explores, questions, and contemplates the built environment we live in, how fast we build, why we build, and how (or whether) we build in harmony with our surroundings and with nature.
In some ways it looks like you might have stumbled upon some ruins of a past building, or possibly an unfinished project, that is now blending in and being taken over by mother nature. And yet, it is not ruins, but the beginnings of a project, it is a built environment under way, an ever changing reality, moving at a slower pace so that the lines are blurred, forcing us to reconsider the fast pace in which we live and the way we treat our environment when building into it.
To say that it is quietly beautiful and inspiring is an understatement.
