Mid-20th century sacred architecture in America sought to bridge
modernism with religion by abstracting cultural and faith
traditions and pushing the envelope in the design of houses of
worship. Modern architects embraced the challenges of creating
sacred spaces that incorporated liturgical changes, evolving
congregations, modern architecture, and innovations in building
technology. The book describes the unique context and design
aspects of the departure from historicism, and the renewal of
heritage and traditions with ground-breaking structural features,
deliberate optical effects and modern aesthetics. The
contributions, from a pre-eminent group of scholars and
practitioners from the US, Australia, and Europe are based on
original archival research, historical documents, and field visits
to the buildings discussed. Investigating how the authority of the
divine was communicated through new forms of architectural design,
these examinations map the materiality of liturgical change and
communal worship during the mid-20th century.
