Spaces of worship have iconography associated with them; this iconography is a representation of the beliefs of the religion, and finds ties in its value system.

 

There is always an inherent need to develop, or find tangible associations with one’s identity and beliefs; spaces of worship allow for that. They become spaces where the ‘known’ can be found; where common ground with another is sought.

 

 

The construction of such spaces goes beyond the needs that they serve for the community; they are connotations of the kind community one wishes to construct; the kind of discourse one chooses to have.
