On the Interpretation of Historical Styles in The Contemporary Architecture of Christian Churches

Abstract

This article examines the necessity of continuity in modern church construction in relation to historical architecture. Based on an analysis of the architectural solutions of Christian churches, typological groups have been identified according to the elements that comprise their spatial and planning structure. A range of themost frequently used volumetric and spatial elements of churches has been determined. The article discusses the feasibility of composing traditional volumetric and spatial elements and designing parish churches based on this approach.
