Major Religious Projects from around the world
Church Building Designs
We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Religious Architecture. We aim to include Church buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.
We cover completed Religious buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the world. The focus is on contemporary Religious buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.
We have 4 pages of Religious Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.

La Calera Chapel Building - added 9 Jan 2013
This chapel building has a basic geometry that tries to alter the territory as little as possible. It uses the natural features of the environment, the wind and the light, to create an essential harmony. The chapel is designed to open to the outside to allow worshipers to gather in mass, this architectural design appeases both small private groups and large public functions.

San Michele Arcangelo - 9 Jul 2012
The church of St. Michael the Archangel (1735) stands in the centre of Borgo di Terzo. Cracks were clearly visible in the front elevation masonry, indicating serious building damage. Due to its irregular architecture, the church - like all historic buildings - required a precise analysis of existing conditions as a basis for the renovation work.

Pescara Church Building - 6 Jul 2012
The mid-Adriatic sprawling city has by now been analyzed, dissected, especially the completely built strip along the coast, pressed between A14 motorway, the Adriatic railway, the sea. It is made up of a cluster of houses laid on the ground as in a domino disposition: the open issue for its new urban dimension is to point out new central areas from a planning point of view and realize them; the priority may be represented by public spaces and/or buildings.
