Modernity and religion are not mutually exclusive. Setting German
and Irish church, synagogue and mosque architecture side by side
over the last century highlights the place for the celebration of
the new within faiths whose appeal lies in part in the stability of
belief they offer across time. Inspired by radically modern German
churches of the 1920s and 1930s, this volume offers new insights
into designers of all three types of sacred buildings, working at
home and abroad. It offers new scholarship on the unknown
phenomenon of mid-century ecclesiastical architecture in
sub-Saharan Africa by Irish designers; a critical appraisal of the
overlooked Frank Lloyd Wright-trained Andrew Devane and an analysis
of accommodating difficult pasts and challenging futures with
contemporary synagogue and mosque architecture in Germany. With a
focus on influence and processes, alongside conservationists and
historians, it features critical insights by the designers of some
of the most celebrated contemporary sacred buildings, including
Niall McLaughlin who writes on his multiple award-winning Bishop
Edward King Chapel and Amandus Sattler, architect of the innovative
Herz-Jesu-Kirche, Munich.
