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.
