Places of Worship by Sir Christopher Wren, Joze Plecnik and Tadao Ando by Vaughan Hart
Part of a series that places buildings within their historical context, this text considers St Paul's Cathedral, Church of the Sacred Heart in Prague, and the Church on the Water and Church of the Light in Japan. It includes specially produced technical drawings that explain how the buildings were detailed and put together. By looking at these churches within one volume, the aim is that the reader can gain insight into varying approaches by architects - from the past to the present and in differing cultural and geographical settings - to creating Christian sacred space.
