À partir de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle, les ordres religieux, créations nouvelles ou réformes d'ordres anciens, se multiplient dans les villes de l'Europe catholique où ils bâtissent églises, collèges et monastères. Si l'apport des architectes laïcs à ces entreprises est bien connu, celui des religieux, et plus encore des religieuses, est resté au second plan de la production architecturale. Pourtant, ces hommes et ces femmes ont été les chevilles ouvrières de ces chantiers, concevant des projets, des plans ou des croquis d'architecture, surveillant les travaux et expertisant les édifices. Mettant leurs connaissances et leurs compétences au service de leur ordre - et parfois d'autres - ils et elles ont pleinement pris part à l'intense activité constructive qui caractérise les XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Afin de réhabiliter les œuvres de ces hommes et de ces femmes, une journée d'étude s'est tenue en avril 2017 à l'Université de Lyon 3 dans le cadre de l'atelier « Nouvelles recherches sur le catholicisme moderne » du LARHRA. Richement illustrées, les contributions de ce volume interrogent le métier des religieux et religieuses architectes en France, dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux et la principauté de Liège. Si leurs formations restent pour la plupart méconnues, leurs talents sont attestés par l'étude de leurs carrières et de leurs réalisations (malheureusement fréquemment démolies ou transformées), mais aussi et surtout par les archives et les sources iconographiques. Éclairage complémentaire, la dernière contribution analyse le rôle des marguilliers dans la construction des églises paroissiales de Paris pour lesquelles les compétences des membres de la communauté ont également été mobilisées et mises à profit.

In Architecture of the World's Major Religions: An Essay on Themes, Differences, and Similarities , Thomas Barrie presents and explains religious architecture in ways that challenge predominant presumptions regarding its aesthetic, formal, spatial, and scenographic elements. Two positions frame its narrative: religious architecture is an amalgam of aesthetic, social, political, cultural, economic, and doctrinal elements; and these elements are materialized in often very different ways in the world's principal religions. Central to the work's theoretical approaches is the communicative and discursive agency of religious architecture, and the multisensory and ritual spaces it provides to create and deliver content. Subsequently, mythical and scriptural foundations, and symbols of ecclesiastical and political power are of equal interest to formal organizations of thresholds, paths, courts, and centers, and celestial and geometric alignments. Moreover, it is equally concerned with the aesthetic, visual and material cultures and the transcendent realms they were designed to evoke, as it is with the kinesthetic, the dynamic and multisensory experience of place and the tangible experiences of the body's interactions with architecture.

"Modernity and religion are not mutually exclusive. Setting German and Irish church, synagogue and mosque architecture side by side over the last century highlights the place for the celebration of the new within faiths whose appeal lies in part in the stability of belief they offer across time. Inspired by radically modern German churches of the 1920s and 1930s, this volume offers new insights into designers of all three types of sacred buildings, working at home and abroad. It offers new scholarship on the unknown phenomenon of mid-century ecclesiastical architecture in sub-Saharan Africa by Irish designers; a critical appraisal of the overlooked Frank Lloyd Wright-trained Andrew Devane and an analysis of accommodating difficult pasts and challenging futures with contemporary synagogue and mosque architecture in Germany. With a focus on influence and processes, alongside conservationists and historians, it features critical insights by the designers of some of the most celebrated contemporary sacred buildings, including Niall McLaughlin who writes on his multiple award-winning Bishop Edward King Chapel and Amandus Sattler, architect of the innovative Herz-Jesu-Kirche, Munich."--Bloomsbury publishing.

Sacred buildings are among the oldest types of edifice produced in human civilisation. As they have throughout history, the construction of churches, synagogues, mosques and other building which are used for sacred, ritual or ceremonial acts is still considered the most prestigious of construction tasks. Next to functional demands, which are heavily ritualized in liturgical practice, the architects must concentrate particularly on the aesthetic expression. The space must operate as a framework for belief, with specific reference to the religion to be served. It must also be an appropriate stage for the experience of the divine service and concomitant spirituality. This volume shows exceptional examples of buildings from the various religions and denominations which often attain the status of works of art. By acknowledging the concept of world religions, exciting parallels and clear distinctions in contemporary sacred architecture emerge.

Open Access: The Archivolted Portals of Northern Spain and Western France within the Theology and Politics of Entry explores the history, development, and accrued connotations of a distinctive entry configuration comprised of a set of concentrically stepped archivolts surrounding a deliberate tympanum-free portal opening. These "archivolted" portals adorned many of the small, rural ecclesiastical structures dotting the countryside of western France and northern Spain in the twelfth century. ...

Toute religion tente d'imprimer sa présence et ses signes dans l'espace public. Une statue, un sanctuaire, une procession, l'appel des cloches ou du muezzin, même des vêtements spécifiques sont autant de moyens classiques d'imposer le sacré dans l'espace public. L'ouvrage montre aussi que les religions concurrentes se disputent l'espace et que le triomphe de l'une d'entre elles implique le plus souvent l'effacement des signes des autres confessions.

Borrowing from a range of theories on spacemaking and material religion, and with contributions from anthropologists working in the United Kingdom, Mali, Brazil, Spain, and Italy, this fascinating and comprehensive study develops an anthropological perspective on modern religious architecture including mosques, churches, and synagogues. 'Religious Architecture' examines how religious buildings take their place in opposition to their secular surroundings and, in so doing, function not only as community centers in urban daily life, but also as evocations of the sublime that help believers to move beyond the boundaries of modern subjectivity.
