ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM – In Holy Sites 1996-2000
Padgett was searching for Universal forms of design through New York style Abstract Expressionist drawing where he created wilfully, but without imposing any ideas of style, form or composition on the drawing process. The hope was that natural, universal forms of design would arise.
The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption is located in the Cathedral Hill neighbourhood of San Francisco, California. The present cathedral replaced one (1891-1962) of the same name. The cathedral was designed by local architects John Michael Lee, Paul A. Ryan and Angus McSweeney, collaborating renown architects Pier Luigi Nervi and Pietro Belluschi — at the time, the Dean of the School of Architecture at MIT.
Its saddle roof is composed of eight segments of hyperbolic paraboloids, in such a fashion that the bottom horizontal cross section of the roof is a square and the top cross section is a cross.
In 2017, Architecture Digest named it one of the 10 most beautiful churches in the United States.
