That is actually one of the ugliest buildings I have ever seen.

This is my favorite:

I think of it as Siena's Zebra Church.

Is it an egg or is it a vagina? What sort of congregants want to enter a womb?

Neither; it's floorplan and roof/occulus (skylight) are the shape of the Vesica Pisces and the Ichthys and resembles a Bishop's mitre

.

This was another proposal for the same site:

Thanks - that is an old picture - I’ll get a newer one up!

Have you actually been there to Siena to see it? It is truly wonderful - particularly the inlaid pictures on the floor.

But the part that I find most fascinating is the failed attempt to expand the cathedral. Had they succeeded, the existing cathedral would be only the right transept of the enlarged cathedral.
