Contemporary Church Architecture
Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Contemporary Church Architecture by Edwin Heathcote
The last decade has seen the emergence of a whole new generation of church designs. Covering buildings across the world, Contemporary Church Architecture aims to appeal not only to architects and clergy involved directly in ecclesiastical architecture but also other practitioners and those with a broader interest in cutting-edge design.
"Contemporary Church Architecture is worth buying for Heathcote's compressed history" (Building Design, Cover date 22nd June) "explores the development of contemporary church design by looking at how the rational and the sacred can be reconciled ." (Church Building, July/August 2007) "With stunning photographs, some full-page, this work really shows off the architecture of each building." (Methodist Recorder , cover date 30th August 2007) "...opulently extravagant, with some of the most beautiful images of contemporary churches I have seen." (Church Times, Friday 15th February 2008)
