Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The role that religion has played in the development of art and architecture is unquestionable. The religious factor is as old as humanity itself and throughout history constructions have been erected with the aim of extolling the gods. Everyone has heard of examples such as the Egyptian or Aztec pyramids, the Christian cathedrals or mosques like the famous Blue Mosque.These are all examples of sacred buildings which also
represent an undeniable artistic and architectural value. The construction of religious buildings seems to have been forgotten by the masses and replaced by other more modern and popular architectural typologies, such as public or corporate architecture. These pages show recent projects that will bring us closer to contemporary religious architecture.
