ARCHITECTURAL FRAMEWORK DESIGN OF AN INTERDENOMINATIONAL CHRISTIAN WORSHIP CENTER BY JONATHAN BYPASS, CALABAR, CROSS RIVER STATE
Abstract
The design of a church is a multifaceted process that transcends mere architectural aesthetics, encompassing spiritual, cultural, and communal considerations. This abstract encapsulates the core principles guiding church design, emphasizing the harmonious integration of symbolic elements, spatial functionality, and contextual relevance. It explores the intricate dance between the sacred and the practical, from the careful selection of materials to the strategic arrangement of spaces to facilitate communal worship. The abstract underscores the significance of cultural sensitivity, advocating for the use of indigenous materials to create a church that not only resonates with the congregation's beliefs but also seamlessly blends with its local context. Ultimately, the design of a church emerges as a holistic endeavor, aiming to craft a sacred space that fosters spiritual connection, community engagement, and architectural beauty.
