Bloomsbury Modern Religious Architecture in Germany and Ireland

Explore the connection between modernity and faith in this scholarly volume from Bloomsbury Visual Arts. This book examines how religious architecture has evolved since 1945, placing German and Irish church, synagogue, and mosque designs side by side. By looking at these structures together, the text reveals how new architectural styles find a place within faiths that offer stability across time. Inspired by the radical German church designs of the 1920s and 1930s, this work provides fresh perspectives on designers working both locally and internationally. It offers a unique look at the creative processes behind sacred buildings and their lasting impact. Additionally, the book presents new scholarship on the mid-century ecclesiastical architecture found in sub-Saharan Africa, making it an essential resource for students and professionals interested in the global history of religious building design.
