Proceedings of the International Conference on Religious Architecture (ICRA 2024)
Conference: Proceedings of the International Conference on Religious Architecture (ICRA 2024)
Date: 24-25 October 2024
Location: Jakarta, Indonesia (Hybrid)
Website: https://icra.untar.ac.id Religion produced noteworthy architectures from the beginning of humanity. Religion gives meaning and direction to human life and in the process unites and empowers human beings to direct their aspirations and resources to build spectacular works of houses of worship and gathering. Religious architecture fills a significant part of history of architecture. Since ages, human beings have evolved a plethora of forms from simple stone edifice to the enormous buildings in sophisticated modern materials and technologies. From an architectural point of view, every building built for religion is sacred, meaning that it is dedicated to the powers beyond. However, the manifestations are so much varied, as they depend on the regulations sanctioned by different teachings combined with the society’s culture and tradition, and the builder’s intentions and aspirations. Added to that are the local environmental factors, the availability of building materials, existing building technology, and the time span of its development. The Architecture Study Program of Universitas Tarumanagara and Indonesian Institute for History of Architecture collaborate to organize the International Conference on Religious Architecture (ICRA) on October 24–25, 2024 in Jakarta. We wish to broaden both our understanding and perspective in this often-neglected field. The study in religious architecture is more acutely felt in the regions outside of Europe and America. The Conference should serve as a forum for scholars in the field, hopefully being the first one in a series. ICRA 2024 offers four main themes; the first is Religious Building and Human Habitation, where we delve into the relationship between the house of God and the house of humans. The two seems to be interlocked into each other quite complicated. The second is Design and Manifestations, in which we explore the interplay between religious tenets and local conditions in producing religious architecture. After that, we examine the most prominent element in modern building, the Technology and Innovations. The development of post-industrial revolution enables us to build virtually any form we want. The last, and far from the least, is about Monuments and Heritage. A big part of buildings we study in history of architecture is religious buildings, and it shows their importance in architectural studies. We wish to further this endeavour, and we invite you, universities and institutes for ideas and collaborations. ICRA 2024
