Wanted to get access to the site, because people have told me there is a gate you can sneak through because it is broken or has a hole in it... I didn't find it lol. We settled on the grass and fences around the site. I did a photoshoot here.

I nearly flunked out of Aggieland in the fall of 1994 due to the Tien Tao temple. By day I studied electrical engineering, but by night I worked for the local steel fabricator and erector of the temple. Working in my apartment in College Station, I drafted the structural steel, handrails and staircases for this and other Houston buildings. I distinctly remember hard nights, where instead of studying, I worked out the complicated staircases in this building. It includes TWO stairs which spiral within the main geodesic dome as mirror images of one another. It’s as if each level in the temple serves as a higher order of sought righteousness, whereby a zenith of faith (or brainwashing) culminates on a small platform within the apogee of the dome… What a shock to see that mass of steel again!

Luz del Mundo is Houston's very own mini-St. Peter's Basilica, complete with truncated piazza arms.
