“Through descriptions, photos, drawings, and acoustical data, this book provides valuable information on existing worship spaces designed during the past thirty years. This very well-edited book, including the Editors' Preface and six excellent essays from key people involved in worship space design, provides valuable information and ideas on the aesthetic, acoustic, and liturgical design of worship spaces for a number of faiths and in several countries.”

Recenzii
“Each case study documents the community’s strengths and struggles with sound and space, making the narratives accessible to a wide range of readers. Designed as a primary resource and reference, with appendices that include a glossary of key terms, and a design overview with a summary of the design process for each of the worship spaces, the book is written by professionals intimately linked to the spaces investigated: an audio systems designer, music director, acoustical consultant, architect, and a builder/owner.” (Heather Murray Elkins, Homilectic, homilectic.net, Vol. 42 (1), August, 2017)
