Hi All,
To borrow the first part of the title from Red Star... I am beginning to think about cathedrals, chapels, churches, temples, shrines etc... What do the shapes mean? What shapes would these buildings take in your created worlds? What does a circular building mean over a square or rectangle or star or cross.
How does one go about building a consistent shape-ology and symbology within a created religion? Would building materials and complexity of buildings matter in any way except cost and available artisan ability?
So far, I am trying to think about a religion's holy symbols, the aspects of the deity and the foundational mythology to figure out how they would influence the religious architecture.
Poking your brains to achieve greatness. I hope everyone is doing well and using spare time to create.
Semper Fidelis
