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

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 religi

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 carri

The article studies religious architectural monuments of Nakhchivan dated on the basis of inscriptions and architectural elements. Religious architectural monuments, which are important for the study of medieval Azerbaijani architecture, are not properly involved in the study. However, since many of these monuments have medieval architectural elements, and some have inscriptions relating to the date of construction, these monuments make it possible to study the development stages of medieval architectural history.

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 t

On this theoretical basis, certain aspects of Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra are analysed not as mere rhetorical or polemical devices but as the backbone of a work of a religious nature.

Abstract:

After Buddhism spread to the Zhejiang, it underwent sinicization, giving rise to Chinese Buddhist architecture and forming a secularized character. The spatial-temporal distribution of historical Buddhist architecture in Zhejiang is strongly representative of Buddhist architecture. From the perspective of religious cultural geography, this study takes 11 prefecture-level cities of Zhejiang as the basic research units, and employs the spatial-analysis method of ArcGIS to analyze the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of representative historical Buddhist architectural samples, and to ex

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the identification of a three-level Indo-Iranian model of the world in the architecture of the Nuzal temple. This corresponds to the theory of three functions formulated by J. Dumisil for Indo-European and, already, Indo-Iranian society and confirmed by researchers in the most important spheres of Scythian-Alan culture. Unfortunately, the semantics of the Alanian religious architecture remains unexplored, so the article attempts to consider it on the example of the medieval Nuzal Church – a reference temple that has great historical significance and carries architectu

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the study of common archetypes in sacred buildings of Christian churches and mosques. Archetypes are seen as universal images that permeate the collective unconscious of humanity and are expressed through mythology, symbolism and architecture. The work analyzes how archetypes influence architectural decisions of sacred buildings, including layout, composition and artistic and stylistic design. The authors consider how common archetypes are reflected in architectural features such as the presence of domes, minarets and bell towers, as well as in the organization of int

Abstract:

Culture and media transform each other through mediatization. Mediatization interacts between culture and media through artifacts of material and visual culture to convey its messages to as many people as possible. Religion is an important component of culture, so it may be interesting to analyze the influence of mediatization on specific religious practices such as rites, particularly the rite of marriage. The processes of mediatization in marriage rites act performatively on physical and cultural space, and they are reshaping religious values and norms. Starting from the relationship between

In this research paper was implemented a search for general philosophical and scientific principles and possibilities of the study of religious architecture in the optics of the psychology of religion. For this purpose were involved the achievements of M.R. Savchenko in the field of architectural ontology and functional methodology. It was shown that the study of architecture from the position of psychology of religion should pursue psychological explanation of the need for religious architecture for the preservation (survival, spread, development) of ritual and religion.

Abstract:

The conceptualization of Western architecture became a prominent force in Ottoman architecture with the advent of the period of westernization that started at the beginning of the eighteenth century during the Tulip Era (1718-1730). The most important cultural dynamic that changed the course of Ottoman architecture was the imported architectural styles that originated in Europe. Welcoming the western influence became a state policy that persevered throughout the nineteenth century. In this century, the western-based architectural perspective of the Armenian-Ottoman Balyan Family came to the fo

The paper analyses architectural compositions of various religious complexes – historical and contemporary – apart from their stylistic features. The most prominent ensembles under analysis have one noticeably common feature – spatial narrative. The foreseen sequence of forms of experience and spatial structure tell different religious narratives depending on which different aspects of faith were actualized in a given period. The analyzed examples stand in proof that suggestibility of religious aspects in sacral architecture are inseparable from their artistic suggestibility aspects. In some c

Abstract:

Buildings in Islamic architecture are distinguished by dazzling features in general, especially religious buildings such as mosques, schools, and shrines. The literature could not find a clear identification of reaching the dazzling concept. Moreover, researchers in the Islamic architecture discipline did not focus on determining sufficient knowledge of the design methods of applying the dazzling approach in Islamic architecture, and they did not clarify a specific detailed vocabulary of Islamic dazzling concepts. However, the problem of the study was identified by observing the literature and

Since the establishment of the Kurdistan Region Autonomy in 1991, extensive construction, including that of mosques, has reshaped the architectural environment. This phenomenon requires an examination of the evolved architectural features in new mosques and also raises questions about their alignment with the religious and symbolic objectives of mosque designs. This study focuses on the transformative impact of modern architectural styles on mosque evolution in Sulaymaniyah and uses an in-depth case study approach to analyze 23 contemporary mosques built over the past three decades.
