Synopsis
Excerpt from Church Building: A Study of the Principles of Architecture in Their Relation
So far as the art itself is concerned, its notable advance owes as little to the schools as did its earliest inception in the first half of the nineteenth century. To this day schools of architecture are generally as scornful both of the problem and its stylistic expression as they ever have been since official architectural schools came into existence. Whatever has been gained has been without their aid, and simply because, schools or no schools, there was a new spirit working in the world, a new demand that inevitably produced the corresponding supply. There is nothing self-conscious in the religious art of the time, nothing factitious or premeditated; it is working instinctively though slowly, and it is gradually reaching out through all classes and all denominations. Little by little it is acquiring coherency, and when once this synthesis is accomplished, it may be able to rise to its high possibilities and materially aid in the achievement of that same coherency and synthesis in the organic forms of the religion it serves, as in the natural forms, which are architecture and all the arts when called into this service.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the art of church building, exploring the principles of architecture as they relate to the creation of sacred spaces. The author examines the history of church architecture, focusing specifically on the unique development of this art form in England. He draws comparisons between the grandeur of cathedrals and the intimate beauty of village churches, arguing that the latter are often more profoundly expressive of the faith they embody. The author critiques the trends in church construction that have emerged in America, arguing that the pursuit of trendy styles over enduring principles has led to a decline in the quality and meaningfulness of church architecture. He asserts that a return to the core values of simplicity, durability, and reverence is essential to restoring the true spirit of church building. This book offers a powerful and thought-provoking perspective on the vital role that architecture plays in shaping our spiritual experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781440060083_0
