The building is a landmark, which through its architecture symbolizes the extraordinary natural phenomenon of the Arctic northern lights,” explains John F. Lassen, Founding Partner at schmidt hammer lassen architects. He continues: “The cathedral reflects, both literally and metaphorically, the northern lights: ethereal, transient, poetic and beautiful. It appears as a solitary sculpture in interaction with the spectacular nature.” Schmidt hammer lassen建筑的创始人之一John F.Lassen说“北极光大教堂是综合周围自然和当地文化的设计。建筑本身是一个地标，建筑象征了北极光这一超凡的自然现象。”他还说：“这个大教堂同时从表面和寓意上反映了北极光的飘渺，短暂，诗意和美丽。它就如同一个独立的雕塑一般与壮观的自然进行互动。” The significance of the northern lights is reflected in the architecture of the cathedral. The contours of the church rise as a spiralling shape to the tip of the belfry 47 metres abo
