Summary: St Paul's Cathedral is an iconic British building combining Renaissance and Baroque elements.

Philip Drew explains how Ando created in them a synthesis of opposites. Considering these churches together allows an insight into the varying approaches taken by architects towards creating sacred Christian space.
