liturgical architecture

Liturgical architecture refers to the design and layout of religious buildings, such as churches, temples, or mosques, to support worship and spiritual practices. It involves thoughtful placement of key elements like the altar, nave, altar, choir, and aisles to enhance communal and personal prayer. These structures reflect theological beliefs, rituals, and traditions, aiming to foster a sense of reverence, community, and connection to the divine. The architecture often incorporates symbolic features and proportions that deepen the spiritual experience and facilitate specific liturgical functions during worship.
