An Architecture of Immanence: Architecture for Worship and Ministry TodayIn this book Mark Torgerson shows how modern architecture has heavily influenced the construction of new sacred spaces, producing a new way of building that emphasizes God's coming near to us. Torgerson begins by discussing God's transcendence and immanence and showing how church architecture has traditionally interpreted these key concepts. He then traces the theological roots of immanence's priority from liberal theology and liturgical innovation to modern architecture. Next, Torgerson illustrates this new architecture of immanence through particular practitioners, focusing especially on the work of theologically savvy architect Edward Anders Svik. Finally, he addresses the future of church architecture as congregations are buffeted by the twin forces of liturgical change and postmodernism. An Architecture of Immanence will interest architects, liturgists, and all Christians who seek to read the sacred spaces of the recent past. |

Here again, at long last, genuine organic architecture flowered.

For the liturgy is made up of unchangeable elements divinely instituted, and elements subject to change.
Page 60 - ARCHITECTURE THE LESSON OF ROME The business of Architecture is to establish emotional relationships by means of raw materials. Architecture goes beyond utilitarian needs.
