"I was always in awe of how light and a few building materials like
concrete, glass and wood can evoke a spiritual feeling," says
Morlinghaus, who was drawn to the beauty of churches after
experiencing the "very cathedral-like feel" of Eero Saarinen's Terminal
5 at JFK.
The structures he documented are full of vaulted ceilings, soaring
cantilevers and manipulated light, all of which are meant to enrapture
believers.
But Morlinghaus, who describes himself as agnostic, says he's not
trying to sell anyone on the merits of religion.
He simply wants to provide reverent and referential descriptions of the
buildings.
