This issue of Lotus International investigates the contemporary expressions of religious architecture and the transformation of the territory within the context of secularization. Through various essays and case studies, the book examines how buildings from classical antiquity were repurposed for Christian use, analyzing historical and contemporary examples of churches and sacred spaces, ranging from the works of Gaudí to reconstructions in Friuli.
The text offers a profound reflection on the persistence of sacred traces in the modern landscape, arguing that despite the ongoing process of secularization, the disappearance of these traces is never definitive. It is an essential read for those interested in architecture, art history, and the relationship between the built environment and the spiritual dimension.
