Description

Explore the evolution of religious design in America through this study of mid-20th century sacred architecture. This book examines how architects bridged the gap between modernism and religious tradition by abstracting cultural faith elements into new forms of worship spaces. Readers will learn how designers met the challenges of changing liturgical needs and evolving congregations. The text provides a deep look at how architects used modern building technology and innovative structural features to move away from historicism. It tracks the renewal of heritage and tradition through deliberate optical and structural design choices that redefined the American house of worship.
