House of Worship. Sacred Space in America (Browning D.); Assouline, 2006

It is possible to pray anywhere, but houses of worship can be truly remarkable spaces. In the United States, they reflect not only the history of religion across the country, but also the astonishingly diverse cultural and ethnic makeup of the population. House of Worship surveys architects, designers, clergy, and congregations in its exploration of and reflection on the intersection of faith, design, and community. This book presents a variety of houses of worship across the nation, from a Quaker meetinghouse built in 1694 to a Baptist church constructed by slaves and a synagogue completed at the end of the twentieth century. Featured sites include: All Saints Chapel, Linville, SC;
First Presbyterian Church, Stamford, CT;
Chuang Yen Monastery, Carmel, NY;
Chapel of St. Ignatius, Seattle, WA;
Crystal Cathedral, Garden Grove, CA;
Touro Synagogue, Newport, RI;
Central Synagogue, New York, NY;
Islamic Cultural Center, New York, NY.
