# Criss-Crossing Churches The Church of the Resurrection by Nothing Studio By Meghan Young | Published 2010-04-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/church-of-the-resurrection References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/zero-impact-church-of-the-resurrection-pays-homage-to-l-aquila-quake-victims/) & [nothing.it](http://www.nothing.it/en/) Although the [Church of the Resurrection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-landscape) has more than just its looks to offer --way more, as you will soon find out -- it's all I can do to not focus on its literal yet abstract architectural design. Taking the form of a cross, it is beautifully simple and devoutly religious. Designed by [Nothing Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-design-co), the Church of the Resurrection (what a name, right?) is a zero-impact church. Made out of wood wrapped in transparent fiberglass, it will be completed by the end of next year.
