I don't think that Lichen Basilica is modern at all, albeit an impressive building.

I thought the same it looks so classic and beautiful.

To be honest, I don't like modern architecture when it comes to religious buildings, honestly I find all these religious objects you guys have posted rather dull execpt the Lichen Basillica but are you sure that is modern?:S

I think it was constructed not too long ago.

Here is another Polish church - Holy God's Providence - im not too fond of the metal part at the top though - I think this project will be a wait and see how it turns out kinda. It may just look more impressive in real life then on my computer screen.

i like it.

great thread by the way - some fantastic architecture.

That church in ROme is very interesting!

Great thread!

yup, that churche in Rome is fantastic :uh:, this Mosque in Zagreb too, the blak roof is amazing!!

the first Mosquee in Lisbon was building long time ago under an old Roman temple, after de reconquest of the city by the Crusads in 1147 the Christians built a Catholic cathedral, in the 80s the islamic community made a new big Mosquee in Lisbon, the minaret looks like a Zigurat of the old Babyloni, sorry the side of the pic, I dont find a big one :(

I mean say that it is quite alike to the DOMUS Museum in La Coruña> Spain, constructed by Isozaki about 10 years ago. I think so.

I doubt that there are any real modern churches in Germany. There was a church building boom after WWII, but I don't know one church from this time which actually looks good. And nowadays there are far too much church buildings in Germany. The church organisations cannot maintain all of them anymore due to lack of practicing christians.
