Like a forest, the design for the 100 Walls Church appears as a puzzling structure of stone and sand that has risen from the ground almost without explanation. Yet upon further study an organizational system reveals itself. All the walls are oriented in one direction so that the building is completely opaque from one side and totally transparent in the opposite view, establishing visual links to the surrounding landscape: hills to the west and the sea to the east. Anywhere in between these two states is an optical play of light and dark.
