The role that religion has played in the development of art
and architecture is unquestionable. The religious factor is
as old as humanity itself and throughout history constructions
have been erected with the aim of extolling the gods.
Everyone has heard of examples such as the Egyptian or
Aztec pyramids, the Christian cathedrals or mosques like
the famous Blue Mosque. These are all examples of sacred
buildings which also represent an undeniable artistic and
architectural value. The construction of religious buildings
seems to have been forgotten by the masses and replaced
by other more modern and popular architectural typologies,
such as public or corporate architecture. These
pages show recent projects that will bring us closer to
contemporary religious architecture.
