Partly a retrospective on sacred spaces from the magazine’s archives, this issue presents significant projects that have shaped discourse on fostering transcendent experiences through architecture. Besides providing space for worship, each of the projects conveys innovative architectural approaches to express sacredness: classics like Jørn Utzon’s Bagsværd Church, Seema Malaka by Geoffery Bawa, and Lina Bo Bardi’s Church of the Holy Spirit. The issue also contrasts the various ways architecture can nurture a relationship with a higher force, and adds new spaces for contemplation, like Glenn Murcutt’s Cobar Sound Chapel or Motorway Chapel by Herzog & de Meuron.
