Sacred Spaces in Architecture

Abstract

It is essential to create a space that nurtures calm and a spiritual experience while also taking care of function, whether the space is a church, temple, chapel, mosque, or synagogue, structures that have been constructed specifically for religious activities for centuries, or it can be anything else. Anywhere, much like the early Hindu era, where sages were worshipped and so there was no need for a temple to find peace. What characteristics define a sacred place in space? If so, is there a chance that could serve as a common ground for all different religious people? Designing and building sacred or purposeful spaces, such as churches, mosques, stupas, and temples, is a religious architectural practice known as
sacred architecture. Many cultures invested a lot of money in the construction of their temples and other sacred buildings. Among the most impressive and long-lasting monolithic structures made by humanity are places of worship. Any area or space that has been set aside for a holy (sacred) purpose is referred to as a sacred space. All the world’s religions and traditions place a strong emphasis on sacred space, and they all have special locations designated as holy that are used for worship, prayer,
and significant rituals. The name of this place varies depending on the religion (church, mosque, synagogue, sanctuary, temple, natural setting, etc.), but the idea is the same: it is a place where believers can have a unique and potent encounter with God.
