Religious Architecture on ArchDaily
June 23, 2009
ArchDaily, a site that provides the “latest architectural news: projects, products, events, interviews and competitions” has republished images of newly completed religious architecture. Projects featured in Part 1 are a monastery on Tautra island in Trondheimsfjorden (Norway), the city morgue in León, Spain; The Church of the Holy Cross in Jyllinge, Denmark; a temporary chapel for the Deaconesses of St-Loup (France), and the Prayer Pavilion of Light in Phoenix, Arizona. My favorite, due in part to its elegant simplicity, is the Phoenix project, but the morgue is pretty powerful, too. Take a look.
