COMMUNITY ARCHITECTS LONDON. FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY — Square Feet Architects Residential, Commercial and Mixed-Use Architects working in the Private, Community and Educationa

Alongside architects Matthew Lloyd and Shahed Saleem, we have developed a unique concept that proposes a single shared space for three faiths; Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The project, built from a collaboration between the three Abrahamic faiths, explores how space can be utilised through innovative design, overcoming cost and land use demands.

By sensitively addressing the similarities and differences of these religions, we have used the notion of natural light, beauty, washing and water to design a space that celebrates the unity of faith. The idea encourages debate around whether a development like this could ever be built, exploring how architecture can break down boundaries between communities. The concept has attracted plenty of interest and will be featured in Terry Biddington’s book ‘Multifaith Space: History, Development, Design and Practice,’ which is out next year. We are taking part in an LSA organised roundtable discussion on the realisation of community projects, with fundraising and site finding still in progression.
