TrendCrib.com has collected images of Sacred architecture - a religious architectural practice  mainly concerned with the design and construction of places of worship and/or sacred or intentional space that include churches, mosques, stupas, synagogues, and temples. Over the years many cultures have devoted considerable resources to their sacred architecture, and their places of worship, religion and sacred spaces are amongst the most impressive and permanent monolithic buildings created by humanity. Conversely, sacred architecture as a locale for meta-intimacy may also be non-monolithic, ephemeral and intensely private, personal and non-public. 

»> Check out our collection of sacred, religious and holy structures which have evolved from the monolithic church to the modern ephemeral church of today.  Notice all the trends reflected in these structures, and how their architectural style has remained so unique with a flair of contemporary architecture.
