Architecture Codex

WHY THE SHAME? Architecture CodeX looks at stunning church almost unknown in the design community. The Cathedral in San Francisco was not beloved and faced a lot of bad press during its design, construction and in its earliest days. But is it an architectural masterpiece in spite of all the harsh words?
