Light to the world

In New York, the construction of the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas designed by Santiago Calatrava is completed.
It replaced the temple next to the World Trade Center, destroyed in the 911 terrorist attack of September 11, 2001.

It looks good on its own but just like a tiy light bulb in the neighbourhood of the skyscrapers. Nice architecture

yes, like a light bulb, kind of nondescript imho
given that orthodox churches are traditionally ornately decorated with gold plated icons and paintings
