Abstract:

China is a country with diverse cultures, and both material and spiritual cultures are extremely rich. Religious architectural culture is one branch of the overall culture of society. Chinese religious architecture embodies traditional Chinese culture, the superb architectural skills and the architectural aesthetic, and it is a concentrated manifestation of religious material culture and spiritual culture. While preserving its own cultural characteristics in the process of globalization, religious architectural culture is a topic worthy of exploration. It is important to explore the culture of religious architecture while maintaining its own cultural characteristics. There are many religions in China, including indigenous Taoism and foreign religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Catholicism. Each religion has its own cultural connotations, and each religious architecture has its own characteristics. After the introduction of foreign religions into China, they have been influenced by traditional Chinese culture, resulting in their religious architecture incorporating some Chinese characteristics. In the current cultural context of China, a comparative analysis of the characteristics of various religious architectures is conducive to a deeper understanding of religious architectural culture and is of certain significance for the inheritance and protection of religious architecture. This article conducts fundamental research on Buddhist architecture, Taoist architecture, and Islamic architecture from the perspectives of overall layout and architectural carving art. By comparing and analyzing religious architecture, it reveals the cultural connotations it carries. It is hoped that this will provide new ideas for the protection of religious architecture and the inheritance of architectural culture.

Abstract:

Religious culture shapes the characters of space and it reflects people’s attitudes towards the relationships between people and gods. Every religious architecture, such as a temple or a church, demonstrates its physical connections with life. This paper focuses on comparing different countries’ religious architectures to better understand the dominant cultural elements which influence design concepts of these architectures. In Western cultures, the religious architecture format is the church. However, Tadao Ando designs the Church of the Light with oriental features. It changes western religious cultures to adapt to local conditions. Ando’s work is just one of many examples in which the local culture can transform religious architecture form with their own characters, and nake it become an iconic mark to represent their country. This paper, analyzing project thinking and development invovling a local citizen, user, artist, and architect, tries to find out how design concepts, decisions on site location, and construction method will be determined. In these case studies on architectural formats from all over the world, this paper uses valuable data to show what elements will be the most critical ones to influence people’s thinking about religious cultures and religious architectural transformation. Furthermore, in this research, it compares religious cultural characters between western and oriental regions. This research also answers questions about how cultures change local people’s behaviors. This is the most valuable point of religious architectures, because they can comfort people and mitigate their sorrow. The research demonstrates how religious cultures and understanding about life can further develop architecture forms. Local materials and conditions are key factors which greatly influence architectural designs. Moreover, this paper compares the latest technology and development of construction materials to illustrate how technology reshapes religious designs in our age. It links local cultures with contemporary architectures to help local architectures continue to develop with their unique characters instead of being eliminated by globalization.

Abstract:

Through field visit to Hongji Monastery in Wuxiang County of Shanxi Province, a detailed investigation on its spatial arrangement and religious functions of architectures is conducted, which deeply reflects the historical inevitability of polytheism and the improvement of people’s cognition toward religious thoughts by combining reasons for the appearance of polytheism and relations between religious activities and religious architectures. This trend of polytheism gives rise to the infusion of deities from different religions in the same religious architecture, which works as a practical carrier of spiritual ballast.

Abstract:

This research tackles the architectural typology of mosques built by religious associations in Algeria, which is a timeless issue. Despite the specific legislation of the new mosques' architectural typology, random or fanciful architectures in the field are considered Islamic Architecture. Our research aims to analyze mosque architectural data and report all the architectural and architectonic elements identified in two Algerian wilayas as a case study. It is then to classify and define the authentic typologies of Maghrebi, Ottoman mosques, or any other developed by specialists in Islamic architecture and art, especially if the platform is linked with the general inventory of Islamic architecture accredited by UNESCO. The concept of creating the platform starts with an inventory of mosques, and it is then developed to list various criteria for classifying mosques. Thus, a flexible filtering system is implemented to help perform multi-criteria analysis and visualize results in a geographic interface. This platform can meet several objectives in many research fields and be adapted for buildings other than mosques. Furthermore, the platform will serve as a basis for researchers and students, the Directorates of Religious Affairs, and the Ministry of Religious Affairs to analyze the architectural data of mosques.

Abstract:

Religious transformations in modern societies are not merely a discursive or demographic phenomenon, they also relate to religious architecture in urban space and affect the built environment at its core. Many churches, for instance, are in the process of reuse, closure, or even demolition. At the same time, there has been an increase in the construction of new mosques and a reorientation in synagogue architecture in Germany for the last twenty-five years. The three religious traditions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—undergo remarkable transformations with regard to the design and style of their places of worship. Often, however, these new designs are not easily ‘readable’ to visitors and believers alike. In addition, the role of contemporary religious architecture in its relation to urban space is changing. Which meanings do religious buildings convey, how are they positioned, and how do they structure urban space? In collaboration of the study of religions and architectural history, we approach these questions by means of studying the transformations of contemporary religious architecture in Germany in a comparative manner. We survey Jewish, Christian, and Muslim places of worship, that is, new constructions, reused, and demolished buildings in Germany since 1990. The selected buildings are studied in detail regarding their meaning and positioning in urban space. This article presents findings from an ongoing research project and opens new perspectives in the study of urban religion.

Abstract:

Qingdao, as a city with a colonial history, has numerous architectures that combine traditional Chinese architectural style and Western architectural style. One of the most distinctive types of architecture is the church. Churches have significant mental support functions as well as their function as shelters. They are symbols of the city, and valuable for the city to present its architectural scene. This article wishes to state the backgrounds and history of Catholicism and Protestantism; compare the differences in external spaces, internal spaces, decorations, and volume of Qingdao catholic church and Qingdao Christian church to analyze the architectural differences based on different religious backgrounds; emphasize the characteristics and connotations for churches. Studying church architecture can reveal the creativity and technical proficiency of ancient architects and craftsmen. Church architecture encompasses knowledge and skills from various fields, including structural engineering, sculpture, painting, and decoration. Such research contributes to the advancement of architectural design and engineering technology. Church architecture is a reflection of human creativity and cultural traditions, and it holds significant importance for the study and preservation of cultural heritage.

Abstract:

This paper aims to analyze prominent examples of contemporary Christian architecture in the Far East, and the influence of religious and architectural concepts of sacred architecture of the Far East on contemporary Christian architecture built there. Numerous examples show the influence of the permeation of that area’s cultural, traditional, and religious heritage with the Christian cultural and theological framework. Christian sacred architecture is based on the monotheistic concept of faith in one incarnated God that opens to humanity the path to salvation achieved in the afterlife. Religions of the Far East share common concepts of proccesuality described as Tao, the governing principle in the background of all life. It is the principle of continuity in an eternally changing universe. The intention of this paper is, therefore, to direct the view towards the permeation of cultures that encourages Christian sacred architecture towards the search for a new, authentic identity.

Abstract:

This article mainly lists differences between Buddhist and Taoist architecture in China, and compares them in various aspects by analyzing the layout and origin of the architecture and combining religious meanings. As an important material manifestation of Chinese local religion, temple architecture not only represents the cultural core of Chinese religion, but also reflects the cultural heritage and profound connotations of Chinese religion. Chinese religious architecture combines the ideas of classical palace architecture and garden architecture design, so temple architecture can be regarded as a treasure in Chinese architectural art. As a cultural symbol and microcosm, they also greatly enhance the importance of people’s understanding and protection of religious architectural art. The article combines the viewpoints of multiple experts to supplement and explain the core points of the article, and preliminarily explores the main reasons for the formation of the layout and style of Buddhist and Taoist architecture. Through research, the author aims to deeply explore the design differences between Buddhist and Taoist architecture.

Abstract:

Abstract In Architecture of the World’s Major Religions: An Essay on Themes, Differences, and Similarities, religious architecture is presented and explained in ways that challenge predominant presumptions regarding its aesthetic, formal, spatial, and scenographic elements. Two positions frame its narrative: religious architecture is an amalgam of aesthetic, social, political, cultural, economic, and doctrinal elements; and these elements are materialized in often very different ways in the world’s principal religions. Central to the essay’s theoretical approaches is the communicative and discursive agency of religious architecture, and the multisensory and ritual spaces it provides to create and deliver content. Subsequently, mythical and scriptural foundations, and symbols of ecclesiastical and political power are of equal interest to formal organizations of thresholds, paths, courts, and centers, and celestial and geometric alignments. Moreover, it is equally concerned with the aesthetic—visual and material cultures and the transcendent realms they were designed to evoke, as it is with the kinesthetic—the dynamic and multisensory experience of place and the tangible experiences of the body’s interactions with architecture.

Abstract:

Light is the most sacred phenomenon and the presence of it in a place of worship is the greatest manifestation of God himself. Man can manufacture all the building materials needed to errect the greatest of structures, but only God can fill it with the light of the sun and make the materials come alive. Through the interplay of light and structure the building can seem to be alive. Through the proper execution of structure and material the building can sculpt light and define the time of day and season of year. This then became the genesis of the project; to sculpt light through natural materials and structure in order to bring glory to the creator and provide a sacred retreat for the weary, a rich interplay of light and material coming together to create a worshipful experience.

Full text

Abstract:

Daylighting, a form of illumination utilizing sunlight, has been used by architects as a method of symbolic expression in religious architecture. Light can be used to illustrate architectural comcepts or to satisfy the liturgical requirements of the particular religious denomination. This thesis illustrates some of the techniques employed by well-known architects, critiquing their successes and failures, and weighting them against more conventional works designed by lesser-known architects in order to discover what separates the ordinary from the extraordinary.The city of Columbus was chosen for its outstanding reputation of producing well known works of architecture, or "icons." Five churches have been singled out on the basis of their exemplary use of daylighting:First Christian ChurchNorth Christian Church First Baptist ChurchSt. Peter's Lutheran ChurchSandy Hook United Methodist ChurchResearch undertaken involved studying the philosophies of each architect, critically assessing the theories of light in earlier historical periods, and defining how some of these earlier concepts have influenced today's architects, if at all. By closely adhering to these principles, the architectural and spiritual value of the church increased greatly.

Abstract:

This paper interrogates the origins and provenance of the term ‘Islamic Architecture,’ making the argument that it is misleading. The term reflects nineteenth- century Orientalist discourse and diminishes the remarkable diversity of architectural traditions found in the predominantly Muslim countries of Asia and North Africa. The paper will survey the early terminology used to discuss the architecture of European colonies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and then discuss the reasons for rejecting the term ‘Islamic architecture.’ A major point will be to note how local traditions of architecture tend to trump the importance of religious function, so that the continuities between the architecture before and after the introduction of Islam are stronger than the similarities that emerged subsequent to conversion to Islam.

Abstract:

The Mosteirinho de São Francisco, in the city of Paudalho (Brazil), is a unique example of Franciscan religious architecture that reflects a very specific historical context of the area. It was built during the period of Dutch domination of Northeastern Brazil (1630-1654), characterized by territorial disputes and religious persecution between Dutch (Protestants) and Portuguese (Catholics). Designed in this emergency context, the building was conceived with a simple and compact layout, adapting the typology and spaces of a Franciscan convent to the site and specific circumstances. An example of this is the addition of two connected aisles to the nave, providing an architectural promenade around this main space: a modest but ingenious adaptation of the cloister concept. Nowadays the building is completely abandoned, in an advanced state of decay and in a judicial process regarding its property. Even its heritage protection is at risk. This paper presents the results of an architectural research about this building with the aim of claiming the importance of its preservation.

Abstract:

The mosque is a sacred important religious symbol for bringing Muslims together as demonstrated during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This paper investigates the potential of Masjid Ar-Rahman of Pulau Gajah, Kelantan as a spot for mosque tourism. Although this mosque was constructed in 2016, it has demonstrated a simplicity in its scale and traditional image. It has value as a hybrid assimilation of HinduBuddhist syncretism and tolerance, and has coined the term Nusantara to denote its hybridised Malay and Javanese architectural styles. The typology of this humble Malay Mosque architecture is of medium-scale and reflects the Sufistic contextual value beliefs of encouraging religious and architectural tourism alike. The conceptual framework capitalises on the research gap found in mosque cultural, architectural and Sufistic beliefs. Research by further delving into constructing the “Sense of Place” in relation to the “Sacred Places”. This research employs qualitative methods of interviewing visitors, applying phenomenological and case study approaches supported by architectural documentation in emphasising the symbolic and semiotic aesthetics aspects in constructing the “Sense of Place” bonded by Sufistic symbolic aesthetics. The theory is constructed in the deeply rooted Islamic Mosque architecture via Sufistic beliefs that provides a platform for mosque tourism activities.

Abstract:

The surroundings of the Algiers’s citadel in the nineteenth centuryThe major works undertaken between 1817 and 1830 transformed the citadel of Algiers into a most important place of sovereignty and power, boasting different administrative, economic and religious centres. However, today, the physiognomy of the surroundings of this palace-fortress is marked by the upheaval of the French colonial period between 1830 and 1870. The creation of the Boulevard de la Victoire and the demolition, for security reasons, of the surrounding buildings, definitively altered the landscape and urban typology of the Ottoman period. This article examines the urban fabric of the ancient surroundings of the Citadel and their transformation during the nineteenth century. It traces back the development of the surroundings, and explains the reasons behind their demolition. The study tries also to give an assessment of the principle characteristics of the architectural components within their urban fabric.

Abstract:

Extended Abstract Introduction: Research Aim and Objectives From Architecture to Urbanism, the concept of unity can be defined as integrated with a spectrum of physical-to-intangible factors raised from or affected by each particular context. To this end, this investigation aims to introduce a three-fold incorporated analysis about the scale, measure and distance in the past and present of Iranian Architecture. First, a profound introduction is necessary to consider the underlying antique manner of living in Iran. This research depicts an analytical vision of thoughts about the use of time and space in architecture as well as in the urban and social life of Iran. Considering the built environments in the diverse parts of Iran, including the majority of villages and cities, clarifies that the six universal directions of space have already formed the manner of fundamental Iranian thoughts about the time in architectural units, urban and constructed environments. Second, the paper elaborates on the unique manner of architectural design in the various regions of the country, in which the physical space is understood by every single individual who, in turn, considers the time with his or her personal feelings accordingly. Third, the concept of time is regarded as a key to the comprehension of the architectural space within the Iranian context. These three basic but fundamental elements can be perceived in any architectural realisation, from houses to public baths, religious architectural compositions and ceremonial places, and in various regions of Iran while indicating an active role in the urban human life of Iranians.

Abstract:

In this blog entry, the author continues looking into the effects of the war against Ukraine on its minority communities, by highlighting the cases of two minorities with traditional residence areas in the western part of the country - ethnic Romanians and Hungarians. The author concludes that both minorities, either through the engagement of their civil society, religious, and educational institutions or individuals, have become a well-integrated part of an overall civil society architecture in western Ukraine emerging during the war. Moreover, all-Ukrainian civic identity features prominently in relation to both communities.

Abstract:

Review question / Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to investigate observational studies on the association between religion and sleep in the adult population. To this end, the proposed systematic review will address the following question: What is the role religion plays in shaping an individual's sleep health? Condition being studied: Sleep is a fundamental biological process increasingly recognized as a critical indicator of development and overall health. Generally, insufficient sleep is associated with depressed mood, daytime fatigue, poor daytime functioning and daytime sleepiness, increased risk of cancer, cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and the cause of the higher risk of mortality. Furthermore, changes in sleep architecture and quality have been related to cognitive deterioration, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Here we will identify the role of religion in elements of sleep health, to include sleep duration and sleep quality, and associated health outcomes in the adult population.
