Summary

"The subject of architecture for religion continues to fascinate. Houses of God, Religious Architecture for a New Millennium by author and architect Michael J. Crosbie, demonstrates an array of gathering places for communal worship, collected from the USA and abroad." "These projects, illustrated with photography and detailed plans, demonstrate how architects and congregations can work together to build places that satisfy often complex cultural and personal needs. There are churches, synagogues, and temples by some of the world's leading architects, including Tadao Ando Architect & Associates, Heinz Tesar, Gould Evans, and many others."--BOOK JACKET.
