Frate Sole Foundation, Catholic Temples, Form, Iconography, ArchitectureAbstract
The International Prize for Sacred Architecture granted by the Frate Sole Foundation, for twenty-five years, makes it possible to monitor the state of the art regarding contemporary religious architecture. Its seven editions offer an unbeatable architectonic panorama for the Christian confessional destiny. Focusing on Catholic architecture in the Far East, the work proposes to analyze the works submitted in the last two editions, and to identify project decisions on architecture and iconography. In this way, the formal expressions and built materials will be observed, the relationship between temple and nature, and an attempt will be made to recognize in the images the acting influences, Western or specifically Eastern. The participating production of the award is a catalog for the study of temples and their conception, capable of nourishing these and other observations.
