Reconquering Sacred Space 2000

Reconquering Sacred Space 2000 is the first book in over four decades to showcase the new Renaissance of Catholic architecture. Over forty new sacred buildings and works of art are featured created by architects and artists from around the world. Reconquering Sacred Space is the book which accompanied the groundbreaking exhibition held in Rome in the Fall of 1999. Included in this book are essays on the tradition of Classical architecture since WWII, the importance of symbolism and iconography, the limitations of abstract modernism, and the church in city planning.
