Cathédrale de la résurrection - Green Roof

In 1988, conquered by the churches already made by Mario Botta, Sir Guy Herbulot, bishop of Evry and president of the diocese, asked him to build the cathedral.

Mario Botta was born in April 1943. Swiss architect leading, with a strong personality, he settled in Lugano in the Swiss canton of Ticino in Italian culture, having studied in Venice. Internationally renowned, he has directed many works in Europe, Japan, the United States.

Thus, Mario Botta has completed its project, "a single-storied house stretched between heaven and earth" to make it an instrument of spiritual relationship. "

We love the trees on the roof.
