He also didn't tell us not to and the early Christian church had synagogues to worship in. Their pattern of church apparently followed their Jewish structure of religon.
Likewise I don't think building churches is a bad or good thing today. It serves a purpose in certain cultures / societies.
In a closed atheistic society like Communist China churches do not make sense. Out of neccessity an "underground" church meeting in homes, barns,etc and in secrecy is what works for them.
