Résumé:
Inherent in the brief for a place of worship is the requirement to create a powerful, transcendental experience for the user, a place of refuge and peace. This ephemeral demand in turn requires unusual sensibility and creative genius of the architect, yet also makes the architect’s task particularly intriguing. This special issue analyses the elements architects have at their disposal to conceive transcendental places and sanctuaries conducive to contemplation and prayer, illustrated in seventeen recent projects from around the world, from Archstudio’s Waterside Buddhist Shrine and John McAslan’s Msheireb Mosque, to Wirmboden Alpine Chapel and Skorba Village Centre.

Résumé:
Sayaka Takasaki honours nature’s sublime character in a new series of Japanese landscape photographs. She writes, “Faced with the overwhelming beauty of nature in front of me, I had nothing to say but thank you – to give thanks is a prayer, as well as a point of entry into the ocean of silence.” Recommended by Fumio Nanjo, director of the Mori Art Museum, this book offers perspectives on the many things an ocean can be: an expanse of weathered snow, an obscuring layer of mist, the gulf of air between craggy peaks, a swathe of mountain grasses, or an endless field of scattered rocks. Masterfully photographed, the silences of these landscapes are palpable.

Résumé:
This book examines the architectural tradition which developed with the religious culture of Islam. Essentially heir to the Roman development of space, it had its source in the ubiquitous courtyard house, while the development of the mosque as both place of worship and the centre of the community, it forms a response to the requirements of prayer set out in the Koran, was given a range of forms as the conquests of Islam came up against the traditions of Egypt, Persia, India and China. The tradition developed further in tombs, palaces and fortifications, all of which are described and illustrated here. The architecture of "Islam" encompasses a high proportion of the world's most beautiful buildings. This book covers the whole range in unprecedented breadth and depth.
