Why shouldn't churches reflect evolving ideas of how "sacred" looks? The Sagrada Familia doesn't feel the same as the old Notre Dame or Milan, but it's no less sacred for it. The Crystal cathedral and Thorncrown Chapel don't reflect traditional ideas about what a sacred space should look like either, but it's hard to deny that they reflect something sacral even if you don't like them.
- amadeuspagel 2y agoThe Sagrada Famila doesn't feel the same as the old Notre Dame, but it does enclose space, it does feel different from the outside.
- AlotOfReading 2y agoNone of the glass roof proposals I've seen for the Notre Dame included removing the walls that enclose the space. If we're talking about something completely different, can you link it so we can be on the same page?
- amadeuspagel 2y agoI'm aware that it's just about the roof, I guess we mean different things by enclose.
