RELIGIOUS
Whether in a cathedral, temple, church, mosque, or meeting house, the goal of the architecture is to convey the sanctity of the religious experience transcending the realm of the secular into the divine. Using light and structure, the architect strives to create a built form that evokes a sense of reverence and spirituality as it expresses the mystery of religion. Thus, the process begins with an abstraction, becomes a physical representation, and results in an experience of a “oneness”: an integration of form and function that will speak to the timeless truths of life, while unifying a group of people in the act of worship.
