Religious Diversity - Diversity of Built Forms

In the course of history, among various peoples and in different cultures, an immense diversity of beliefs and religions has evolved. This finds expression in an almost 3,000-year tradition of creating buildings for worship and religious assembly: churches, monasteries, prayer houses, temples, mosques and synagogues. Franz Peter and Franz Wimmer present the five classical world religions – Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam – and their respective architecture.
