Sacred architecture (also known as religious architecture) is a religious architectural practice
concerned with the design and construction of places of worship and/or
sacred or intentional space, such as churches, mosques, stupas, synagogues, and
temples. Many cultures devoted considerable resources to their
sacred architecture and places of worship. Religious and sacred spaces are
amongst the most impressive and permanent monolithic buildings created by humanity. Conversely, sacred architecture
as a locale for meta-intimacy may also be non-monolithic, ephemeral and
intensely private, personal and non-public.
