Figure 7.26:
Traditional religious architecture takes varied forms. (a) St. Basil’s Church on Red Square in Moscow reflects a highly ornate Russian landscape presence, whereas (b) the plain board chapel in the American South demonstrates an opposite tendency of favoring visual simplicity by British-derived Protestants. The ornate Hindu temple in Varanasi, India (c), offers still another sacred landscape.
