I've seen it in a few stages over the recent years. The step from open-roof construction site to a close place of worship was - and still is - captivating.
(Though walking up and down the spires in the earlier stages was much more fun than the lift, if a little scary.)
While it certainly doesn't have the duration of this construction: After watching the LOTR making of, I'd say projects like this are the closest equivalent to the construction of a medieval cathedral, w.r.t. scope and scale, attention of detail, the imagination of a whole, complex interwoven result that conveys a planned experience.
