Interfaith Design

Much of the conversation in architectural circles about architecture and religious institutions focuses on how religious communities are shrinking and need to find ways to repurpose their legacy buildings. A less examined intersection is where congregations are growing, how they shape their environments, and how do the needs of these congregations shape their spaces differently from traditional churches, mosques, synagogues and temples, and conversely how the spaces that the communities choose affect their worship experience.

Share with us examples from your area, projects you have done or sites you know about, that would contribute to a national conversation that explores what religious growth looks like now. You can upload images and talk about how growing faith communities around you are using architecture to make meaningful spaces for worship, education, housing, and other uses. Examples discussed and shared may be included in a new open resource database documenting religious growth and change in the IDKC Resource Library.
