Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This book presents the best in new religious architecture, filled with photographs and drawings that explain how each project fulfills the design requirements of various faiths.
More than 40 projects are included, representing a range of faiths: Christian, Jewish, and Islamic. Among the projects is the work of such internationally known architects as Steven Holl, Ricardo Legoretta, Gunnar Birkerts, James Stewart Polshek, Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, and Charles Moore.
Each project is presented with colorful photographs, plans, sections, and diagrams that explain the nature of the sacred space. Project descriptions concentrate on the specific needs of the congregation and its traditions, how the building responds to the identity of the church, and how that identity is articulated to the community at large. This book is a valuable resource on recent religious architectural design.
