Architect Jae Cha designed a church in Urubo, a village near Santa Cruz, Bolivia. The small church, 1250 square feet (113 square meters) in area, is made with local wood and translucent polycarbonate sheets which provide patterns of light and shadow and a daylit glow within.
Planning took 8 months, but the church was built in only ten days by congregation members, local skilled workers, and volunteers from the United States. The structure can also function as daycare center, vaccination center, or public market.
