The church rememberedRichter, Barbara Clare January 1988 (has links)
the vision
the vision is composed
broken glass shiny
sharp edges of light
beckon the captured bird
come into the world you wish to create
the stuff of strange silent dreams
the waters of the fountain
long corridors
small rooms
the big room
dance the presence of the sacred
see
disunity seen
the sparkling colors shining
beckoning
the worlds of imagination and possibility
of confusion and chaos
fractured to bits
the mind and the hand
destroy the whole
in order
to see
destroy the whole and leave only the pieces
to be seen
what is irreducible
the element
constructs
that which is intuited
the vision
choreographs the dance
with a more limited palette / Master of Architecture

The rediscovery of meaningHawkes, James Paul January 1988 (has links)
Romans 1: 20
For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so men are without excuse.
Job 32:8
But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
Joshua 4:5-7
Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of tribes of the Israelites, to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, "What do these stones mean?", tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.
Meaning is revealed in the inmost place of a man. Once that lamp of understanding is lit, it will never be extinguished. It is only our awareness of meaning that dims and fades, lost in a welter of imposing facts. The experience of built form can recall us to an awareness of associated meaning. It is in this renewed awareness that we rediscover meaning. / Master of Architecture

The influence of Protestant doctrine on the development of church architecture.Maduna, Thandeka. January 2011 (has links)
Church architecture has evolved dramatically since its inception. It has changed shape, size and form, from simple houses converted to meeting places, to grand Gothic cathedrals, to high-tech auditoriums and modern structures of various shapes and sizes. Throughout the ages there have been many factors that have played a role in this evolution. Not only religious factors, but also economic, social, and political factors, have all contributed to the dynamic changes in church architecture. This thesis focuses on the manner in which the Protestant doctrine has influenced the development of church architecture. This research explores the validity of the idea that spaces and forms of architecture are influenced by the values and beliefs of the people they belong to. There are many movements within Protestantism; because of this there are a variety of architectural forms for their buildings, therefore there is no particular Protestant church architectural style. This study determines how different doctrines and values have influenced church design throughout the ages, through examining various examples of religious architecture, focusing on the doctrinal issues that have
played a major part in the design. This is not a comprehensive survey of the history of church architecture. Theoretical discussions on place, meaning and the concept of function are directly relevant this study, which seeks to find ordering principles that inform the creation of functional and meaningful places for people. The main principle that arose from this research is that people, their beliefs and values, and the site need to be the primary design generators in the design of a church complex as they are in any other building. / Thesis (M.Arch.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2011.

Origin: the beginning of formWorlledge, Thomas Reed January 1991 (has links)
<i>It is very important for human kind that architecture should move by its beauty; if there are many equally valid technical solutions to a problem, the one which offers the users a message of beauty and emotion, that one is architecture.</i> - Barragan -
A simple shelter can fulfill the needs of the body, and the placement of the elements of construction in their relative positions can provide for the needs of the mind, but only the profound interrelationship of the elements of construction and the elements of experience can touch the spirit and move us deep within. Le Corbusier stated that: <i>the purpose of construction is to hold things together and of architecture to move us</i>.
I hope that by applying these thoughts to my architecture, I may discover the point of intersection where the eternal and the finite meet, where the forming of finite elements awakens the spirit within man and causes him to dwell on the eternal. I hope to use the creation as a source of information to transform a material reality into a spiritual experience. / Master of Architecture
