Church Builders: Of the Twentieth Century
No Customer Reviews
This book traces developments in church building through the momentous changes in architecture and theology of the twentieth century. It illustrates the broad spectrum of modern ecclesiastical architecture which has emerged as the synthesis of the pluralism of the turn of the century and the purity and clarity of the Modern Movement. There is a brief analysis of work from the background of historicism through to the Arts and Crafts, the Secession and the emergent philosophy of Functionalism leading to the foundations of the modern church building. This is followed by a fully illustrated account by Iona Spens of some of the most interesting church builders of our time. EDWIN HEATHCOTE and IONA SPENS, both from London, UK Featuring international examples and many beautiful colour illustrations, Church Builders of the Twentieth Century embraces Christian church architecture and related decorative work from the late 19th century to the present, including period revivals, the 'Arts and Crafts' interlude, the schools of Scandinavia, Germany and West Coast America, and the Modern Movement. The book also examines the potential future for this type of building, particularly as religion in society has undergone a radical change in this century.
