This massive structure is difficult to capture. I think it is possibly one of
the coolest modern day structures of it's kind, simply because of it's long
list of unique features, many of which are modern day marvels on a
grand global scale. I'll let the pics do most of the talking.

This structure is known as the L.D.S. Conference Center. It was
constructed in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City prior to the opening
of the 2002 Winter Olympics. It's main auditorium seats well over
21,000 people in cushy comfort, with no visual obstructions toward the
main podium and stage. This, while at the same time providing
amazing acoustics. Used as both a religious gathering place for large
semi-annual LDS Conferences, and also as a grand concert hall for
numerous secular and or non-denominational concerts and pageants, including
the weekly broadcasts of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, all provided free to
the public.

This waterfall cascades from the base of the steeple tower to the street level below.

This large fountain pictured below is at the center of what is actually
the roof of the building. The roof itself, is a large garden,
with extensive waterworks. Also a large, natural mountain
meadow occupies approx. one quarter of the roof. You completely lose
perspective of being in the heart of a major urban center.

One of the many little details that I enjoyed most was this mountain stream, which runs the full length of
the curbside front of the building
