Houses of Space and Light

Adrian Smith

The subject of architecture for religion continues to fascinate. ‘Houses of God: Religious Architecture for a New Millennium’ by noted author and architect Michael J. Crosbie, demonstrates an inspiring array of gathering places for worship, collected from the USA and abroad.
These projects, illustrated with superb 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 and Associates, Heinz Tesar, Gould Evans and many others.

AUTHOR: Michael J. Crosbie is an architect, author, journalist and teacher. He is the author of numerous books on architecture and has written for a number of journals and magazines. He is currently the assistant editor at ‘Faith and; Form’, teaches architecture at Roger Williams University and has lectured at architecture schools in North America and abroad.
