Religious Architecture in Canada I | L’architecture religieuse au Canada I
Although the study of architecture in Canada is a relatively young field, it is no exaggeration to say that more attention has been given to religious architecture than any other form of building in the country. That is because as long as people have inhabited the land that is now known as Canada, there have been buildings devoted to their religious beliefs and practices. Churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples can be found in communities across the country in every style, from vernacular to modern. These buildings are expressive, practical, and reflect Canadian pluralism. This session welcomes papers on religious architecture of all types and styles, from all periods of Canada’s history.

Quoique l’architecture soit un domaine relativement nouveau au Canada, il n’est pas exagéré de dire que l’architecture religieuse reçoit plus d’attention que tous les autres genres de construction dans le pays. Depuis le peuplement de terres identifiées comme le Canada, il y eut des bâtiments dévoués aux croyances et aux pratiques religieuses. Les églises, les synagogues, les mosquées et les temples sont présents dans les communautés à travers le pays, et ce dans tous les styles, du vernaculaire au moderne. Ces édifices expressifs et pratiques reflètent le pluralisme canadien. Cette séance vise à explorer des soumissions à propos de l’architecture religieuse, de tous les types et styles et de toutes les époques de l’histoire du Canada.
