Extractions: We recently added an 1800 seat auditorium to an existing church facility for this North Dallas church. The building exterior is designed to tie into the existing buildings. By creating a wrap around seating arrangement in the auditorium we maximized the sense of community within the space, as well as improving the sense of intimacy between the pastor and the congregation. A large atrium serves as a foyer for the auditorium and provides an additional area for congregating. Beck provided integrated design and construction services for this project. m a r i n e r s c h u r c h i r v i n e , c a l i f o r n i a This is a 4,000 Seat Worship Center addition to an existing church in Orange County, California.

Extractions: In Cumbria, there is no local tradition in Church architecture. For one thing, the dales were mostly too poor, and for another, the slate was not a good material for building in the style of medieval gothic. Partly because of poverty, churches fell into disrepair, and had to be rebuilt, or were too small and had to be enlarged. While many dale churches have 12th or 13th Century origins, only a few remain in anything like their original state. Many churches have towers, some of them fortified, but few have steeples. Those that do are mainly 19th Century in the towns - Ambleside, Cockermouth, Keswick, Barrow and Millom. Some Victorian churches were built by rich landowners who wanted their own church near to the house for the use of themselves and their staff.

However, most English versions of the New Testament use the word "church" to translate ecclesia (Greek "congregation, assembly", a word originally used without specific reference to religious gatherings). In English, the word can be used in reference to a gathering of people for a religious meeting, but is sometimes used to refer to a building or group of buildings. It is also used to refer to a denomination that places the leadership of all congregations in a central location, such as the "Roman Catholic Church". It can also be used in an institutional sense to refer to all churches, such as "... the church today...." Although the Christian Bible says that the church is actually the body of believers, in Jewish times, the temple at Jerusalem held the presence of God in a place called the Holy of Holies. After the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Bible says that the Holy Spirit / presence of God dwells within each believer.

http://www.ralphmag.org/CJ/churches-minnesota.html

Extractions: (University of Minnesota Press) In their often vain desire to capture the divine, humans spend countless years (and countless billions) to build appropriate religious shrines. And each sect thereby reveals their vision of the godhead. Some, such as the Baptists, Catholics, Episcopalians and Presbyterians will spare nothing to be sure that the world knows the depths of the usurious love they have for their gods. Others such as Quakers, Unitarians, and at times the off-sects offer a humble structure as their representation of the godhead. Thus it is a diverting practice for those of us who care about churches and architecture (and church architecture) to pick up a book of photographs of houses of worship, to leaf through it and try to guess which divinity is being addressed. Over a hundred Minnesota churches are represented here, with mostly simple black- and- white photographs of the exterior. As the editor points out, there was a conscious choice, selecting houses of worship from every corner of the state, rather than concentrating on the large cities, and - further - to pick different styles expressing changing tastes in religious architecture over the last 150 years. The earliest church represented, looking a bit ragged but comfortably homely is the Greek Revival Methodist Church in Monticello, dating from 1857. It is said to have cost $945 to construct and was built by a local carpenter.

http://www.esis.ee/ist2000/einst/culture/churches.htm

Extractions: The Estonia Page History Culture Useful links The early 13th century was a turning point in Estonian history. After decades of battles the country was finally conquered and Christianised. We may view these events in different ways, but one thing is clear - it was at this point that Estonia was integrated into Western European culture. This integration is best visualised by Estonian ecclesiastical architecture. The conquest of Estonian territory was brought to an end in 1227 with a large campaign to the island of Saaremaa, where after the capture of the ancient stronghold of Valjala a grandiose baptism was arranged. To commemorate this event the chapel of Valjala was erected, and this marks the beginning of the history of Estonian sacred architecture. In the 1240s the building was reconstructed: the chapel was turned into a sanctuary and the nave was added. This ground plan became dominant in Western Estonia for centuries. The churches, as a rule, did not have a tower, which betrays a Cistercian influence. In fact, this monastic order has greatly affected medieval religious architecture in Estonia. The Church of Valjala introduces another recurrent theme. The newly conquered lands were very often in turmoil so they were dangerous. That is the reason why the space above the vaults was turned into a refuge and a parapet built alongside the windows in the nave. Such churches of defensive character were built in Estonia until the late Middle Ages.

Extractions: Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. AMERICAN CHURCH architecture is wonderfully varied, it includes rickety storefront assembly halls and megachurch complexes, diminutive country churches and massive Gothic piles. Our ideas about worship space come from our different religious traditions, our social enclaves, our sense of history (or lack of it), and our personal worship experiences and desires. Despite this variety, most American Christians visualize "church" in more or the less the same way: as a rectangular building with a tower or spire, containing a rectangular sanctuary with pews in straight lines facing an elevated pulpit and choir loft. For two centuries most American churches have taken this form. Several architectural styles have dominated the landscape. Colonial revival buildings (white clapboard or red brick, with white pillars in front) are perennially popular. The Gothic style, despite its Roman Catholic overtones, has also been fashionable among Protestants since the mid-19th century. Gothic churches generally have spires or crenellated towers, pointed arches, buttresses, and rectangular or cruciform sanctuaries with vaulted ceilings.

http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/medieval_church_architecture.htm

Extractions: Architecture played a very important role for the church in Medieval England . The more splendid the architecture, the more the church believed it was praising God. The church in Medieval England poured vast sums of money into the creation of grandiose architectural projects that peaked in the cathedrals at Canterbury and York. Medieval churches and cathedrals were superbly built. No peasant wattle and daub homes exist anymore as they were so crudely made. But the vast sums accrued by the church (primarily from the poorer classes) gave it the opportunity to spend on large building projects. Many of the churches and cathedrals that survive from medieval times have also had additions to them. Therefore, we can identify different building styles in the same complete building. For example, York Minster contains sections that can be traced to 1080 to 1100, 1170, major expansion work between 1220 to 1253, further expansion from 1291 to 1360 and the completion of the Central Tower which took from 1407 to 1465. Over the near 400 years of development, different styles would have developed and give historians an in-depth look at changes in church architectural styles. The cathedrals started in the reign of William the Conqueror were the largest buildings seen in England up to that time. With the exception of Worcester Cathedral, William appointed Norman bishops to these cathedrals. Therefore, these men would have been heavily influenced by the architecture used in Normandy and this style came to dominate the architecture of the cathedrals built under William. Norman architecture is also referred to as Romanesque because it was influenced in turn by the Ancient Romans.
Gothic Church Architecture

http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/gothic_church_architecture.htm

Extractions: Gothic church architecture in Medieval England developed from Norman architecture . 'Gothic architecture' is the term used to describe building styles between 1200 to 1500. Such a large time span meant that a number of styles developed within Gothic architecture and it is common to divide these styles into three sections. The building between 1200 to 1300 is usually referred to as Early English; between 1300 to 1400, the style of building is referred to as Decorated and from 1400 to 1500, it is known as Perpendicular. It is common for major church buildings to show examples from all three of these periods. Gothic cathedrals are characterised by large towers and spires. Whereas Norman architecture can be seen as being 'dumpy' due to their more limited knowledge of building, the Gothic era coincided with a greater knowledge of engineering and this is reflected in the church buildings completed during this era. Gothic churches and cathedrals were fundamentally different to Norman buildings. The increase in knowledge and skills acquired over the years, meant that stone was specifically cut so that it fitted next to other stone blocks with precision. Therefore, the large blocks of stone favoured by the Normans, were replaced by shaped stone. Another major change was that the hollow walls used by the Normans were not used by later architects. Walls and pillars were solid and this allowed them to cope with much greater weights. This simple fact allowed churches and especially cathedrals to be much larger than Norman ones. This, along with the money gathering ability of the Church, explains why the cathedrals and churches of the Gothic era were so much larger than previous ones.

Extractions: Online Edition Vol. III, No. 7: October 1997 The Roots of Modernist Church Architecture by Duncan Stroik "The Church has not adopted any particular style of art as her own.... The art of our own times from every race and country shall also be given free scope in the Church, provided it bring to the task the reverence and honor due to the sacred buildings and rites". Sacrosanctum Concilium , no. 123 "If you wish to see great Modernist architecture you must have plenty of time and your own Lear jet". - Robert Krier To many educated observers, it would seem that the reductionist buildings commissioned for Roman Catholic worship today are the direct corollary of Church teaching, modern liturgical studies and contemporary theology. Of course, if that were so, Modernist architecture would be the officially sanctioned style of the Church and difficult to criticize. Indeed, in the 1960s after the Vatican Council, there was a great surge of construction of austere churches which often resembled commercial or factory buildings, bearing out the belief that they were mandated by the spirit of Vatican II. But these concrete boxes, barn-like shelters and sculptural masses all had precedent in the pre-conciliar era. In fact, radical new church configurations had been experimented with since the dawn of Modernism in the late 19th century. The idea to model churches on auditoria, Greek theaters, large houses, or theaters in-the-round grew out of low church Protestant worship, whereas the reductionism of post-Conciliar churches grew out of the Modernist architectural movement in Europe.
