	Sacral architecture has always been a distinguishable element in the landscape. Cathedrals used to iconize the cities, dominate them, delight with the power and nobility of their external form, bewilder and strike with the artistry of interior decoration. The contemporary temple has lost landscape predominance. Its urban rank has deteriorated, too. Architecturally, it can hardly compete against extravagant structures designed by today’s archistars. Questions about the shape of a temple in the contemporary cultural landscape still trigger off discussions and arouse doubts: Where is its place in the changing public space? Will man redefine and create his sacred places in new liquid reality? How will he do it?
