Over 100 vivid color images by architectural photographer Robert Berger record the spectacular, sumptuous, and often inspirational interiors of forty of Los Angeles' most historic religious structures. A melting pot of immigrants from the world over, LA reflects in its religious buildings the diversity of its ethnic groups. Known as a mecca to the offbeat, LA is also home to a wide variety of spiritual groups whose buildings add flavor to the architectural landscape including many by wellknown architects such as Rudolph Schindler and Wallace Neff.

Visiting over 300 historic houses of worship,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sacred Spaces (Hardcover)
Photographer Robert Beger set out to record Los Angeles' religious history, visiting over 300 historic houses of worship over the course of three and a half years: Sacred Spaces is the culmination of his efforts, providing a fine survey of churches, temples, and synagogues all over 50 years old and largely unknown by the general public. Religious Los Angeles residents and students of religious architecture alike will find Sacred Spaces appropriately juxtaposes images with history, making each building's architectural and cultural background come to life.
