It’s hard to pin down exactly what makes a space feel sacred. But walk through the hallowed passages of a majestic temple or kneel at the foot of an ancient tomb, and you may feel the sacred to be an almost palpable force. For the past 38 years, Faith & Form magazine and the Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art and Architecture have hosted an
annual awards program for architects and artists around the world who evoke this sacred feel in works of religious architecture and design. For artists and architects, the task of evoking the divine through structures and shapes is a difficult one, said Michael J. Crosbie, editor-in-chief of Faith & Form. [
