Abstract

Das sakrale Bauen erlaubt dem Entwerfenden eine seltene Konzentration auf die Schaffung von Raum, Körper und Form. Weitaus weniger als andere Bauaufgaben wird sakrale Architektur von funktionalen Anforderungen, Normen und Standards bestimmt; sie kann sich in der Regel als pure Baukunst entfalten.Im Hinblick auf den Entwurf bietet die Bauaufgabe dem Architekten somit immense Freiheiten. Zugleich verlangt aber der besondere atmosphärische Anspruch sakraler Räume von den Architekten einen hochsensiblen Umgang mit Religion sowie mit den jeweiligen kulturellen und baulichen Traditionen. Das Buch stellt in einem systematischen Teil die entwurflichen, technischen und planerischen Grundlagen des Bauens von Kirchen, Synagogen und Moscheen dar. In einem Projektteil werden ca. 70 realisierte Bauten der letzten drei Jahrzehnte dargestellt. Dem Autor gelingt auf der Basis seiner fundierten Kenntnisse und langjährigen Publikationserfahrungen, eine wertvolle Analyse der konzeptionellen und formalen Aspekte (z. B. Grundriss- oder Raumform, Lichteinfall, Materialität), die entscheidend zur sakralen Wirkung von Räumen beitragen.

Abstract

Architectural space and religious ritual Le Corbusier not only designed and built churches; he was also intensely interested in religion and faith. His work deeply influenced church architecture in the twentieth century.This book examines Le Corbusier's relationship with religion in two introductory chapters, presents his four designs for La Sainte-Baume, the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut de Ronchamp, the Cloister of La Tourette, and the Church of St. Pierre, and, in the final chapter, examines his influence on church architecture in Europe in the twentieth century. Examples include the Jubilee Church near Rome by Richard Meier, the Chapel of Saint Ignatius in Seattle by Steven Holl, the Santa Maria Church in Porto by Alvaro Siza, Tadao Ando's Meditation Space in Paris, as well as the Kapelle der Versohnung (Church of Reconciliation) in Berlin by Reitermann & Sassenroth.Flora Samuel holds a PhD in architecture and teaches design and architecture history at the University of Bath, UK, and is the author of numerous publications. Inge Linder-Galliard also holds a PhD in architecture and has researched and written about Le Corbusier's work in numerous essays.
