Description
Summary:In 'ChurchScape', Susan Bratton chronicles the story of the Protestant church?s transformation of landscape and building. Citing the influence of college campuses on megachurch architecture, Bratton examines the features that are a part of many megachurch complexes, including waterscapes, iconography, and outdoor art. Taking readers on a cross-country journey to over two hundred churches, Bratton traces the movement from the small parish building of the nineteenth century to the extensive complexes that form today?s churchscapes. As she moves from church to church, Bratton describes how all the church?s spaces?buildings, greens, gardens, and gateways?together shape its practices, name its beliefs, and form its life together
