About the Item

Churches by Judith Dupré With Mario Botta First Edition Hardcover Coffee Table Book. 2001 first edition. Churches is a work of art that reflects the grandeur of its subject matter. In this compelling book, Judith Dupré, bestselling author of Skyscrapers and Bridges, presents an architectural tour of fifty-nine of the world's most enduring Christian churches, from such celebrated landmarks as St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois., and Le Corbusier's Chapel at Notre-Dame-du-Haut in Ronchamp, France, to lesser-known masterpieces around the world. With stunning imagery, fascinating essays, and an innovative design that opens like large double doors on a church, this book is rich with factual detail and beautiful photography presented in an inviting, browsable format. Ms. Dupré offers a nuanced portrait of each structure, blending its architectural history with a deep appreciation for art and a reverence for religious traditions. Encompassing houses of worship from six major Christian denominations and all corners of the earth, Churches is a powerful chronology of faith and achievement that will inspire anyone interested in architecture, art, travel, religion, or photography. Introduction by Mario Botta. A New York Times Best Seller, Nonfiction. An architectural tour of fifty-nine of the world's most enduring Christian churches, from celebrated landmarks as St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, and Le Corbusier's Chapel at Notre-Dame-du-Haut in Ronchamp, France, to lesser-known masterpieces, including Tadao Ando’s Church on the Water in Hokkaido, Japan. HarperCollins. Churches' episodic essay structure recalls the daylong segments of a pilgrimage, suggesting the restlessness of a soul seeking grace. Larry B. Stammer of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Churches “goes beyond the required historical, architectural and engineering details to proffer insights into the transcendent.
