Just north east of Kobe sits Mount Rokko, a 932m tall peak and home to the first of Ando’s elemental churches – the Church of the Wind (Kaze no Kyoukai). Completed in 1986, the church is the least famous of Ando’s trio and yet it’s just as visually striking. In many ways, it may even be more interesting as it offers an earlier insight into the development of Ando’s craft and his journey to synthesize religious spaces with nature.
