Sacred spaces exemplify some of the most exciting and challenging
architecture today. Designing Sacred Spaces tells the inside story
of seven architecture firms and their approaches to designing
churches, mosques, synagogues and temples, monasteries and
retreats. Twenty beautifully illustrated case studies located in
Asia, Europe, and North America are showcased alongside discussions
with the designers into concept and design development,
materiality, and spatial analysis. Complementing these are essays
on the cultural, historical, and theoretical meaning and importance
of sacred spaces. By exploring the way we see religion and how we
understand secular and sacred space, Designing Sacred Spaces
reveals how we see ourselves and how we see others. A tour-de-force
of first-person narratives, research, and illustrations, this book
is a vital desk reference.
