Beer case cathedral

It has been called an answer to a beer drinker's prayers: This contemporary cathedral in Brussels, Belgium, is made with cases of beer.

I saw this photo on a Web site called The Pop Up City. It is run by a group of architects in Amsterdam looking a new ways to build things.

This particular creation is work of a firm in Belgium called V+ and was part of a larger exposition there called Atomium Expo 58.

The structure is made with 33,000 cases of Jupiter beer, Belgium's best-seller.

Pretty impressive.

Anybody make anything comparable with beer cans or bottles? Shoot me a link to any photos.

A collection of his columns, "Raising Kids and Tomatoes, Amusing Tales and Appetizing Recipes," was published in 1998. He lives with his wife, Judith, a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, in a downtown Baltimore rowhouse.
