  Brief description of the initiative:

   This workshop is a combination of two different proposals: a part of it is aimed to compare the architectural concept of Christian temples of eastern & western cultures -orthodox and catholic- & their comparison to early christian temples (catacombian). Interosculation, cultural exchange into the youth environnment, architectural education of students by means of natural measurements of monuments of architecture.
   The second part of the project could be presented as "Potential Ways of Solution of Contemporary Problems of Contradictions between Innovations and Traditional Conservatism in Christian Sacred Architecture". It is expected to be fascinating workshop concerning understanding, defining the self-position and modeling "the Ideal Cathedral" or "the Ideal Temple" (implying as well as the Ideal Choral Synagoge or the Ideal Mosque). After the lectures, the teams from different countries will generate their own models of the "Ideal Cathedral" and finally put it into shape. the project would be more interesting if workshop teams represented as mush as possible different societies and religious denominations. This project may give important prerequisite for understanding itself as well as different positions & mentality and it gives good possibility for tolerance inside our common world. Without exagerration it is possible to say that cathedral can appears to be the manifestation of our imagination about the universe, about our position and our role in it and finally about the sense and meaning of our being.
