Abstract

The sacral buildings of the second half of the 20th century were analyzed, in particular the works of Tadao Andot and Peter Zumter. Features characteristic of the culture of the end of the century are represented. The architecture of sacred buildings built according to the principle of unity with nature is considered. It was determined that the objects created at that time, despite their modern appearance, bear the semantic features of traditional temples and combine the inclusion of natural objects in their structure. It has been found that the objects of minimalism are characterized by “ascetic” design, maximum rationality and extreme brevity of forms. The number of items and color relations is strictly limited. It is a space of emptiness and light, geometrically regular shapes, there is nothing superfluous in it. The use of pantheistic elements in shaping the sacred space has been revealed. Goal. On the basis of the analysis of the works of Tadao Andot and Peter Zumter of modern trends in the formation of the sacred space, a pantheistic approach to the formation of the Christian sacred space is revealed. Methodology. Theoretical research methods, analysis of foreign experience in building temples were used. The grapho-analytical method is applied. The results. Establishing approaches to the formation and organization of sacred space. Scientific novelty. The view is presented that the pantheistic approach has a place in the formation of the Christian sacred space. Despite this, it was found that nature appears as an element of space formation, and not as a separate object of worship. Practical significance. The forms of individual sacred buildings and methods of organizing their interiors in modern forms, which can be used in the further development of temple architecture, are analyzed. The use of the metaphorical language of architecture based on the world of visual human products and their iconographic distinctive features is considered. The need to take into account the relationship between certain forms and the messages transmitted through them in shaping the sacred space has been revealed.
