Explore the design visions for a landmark Bahá’í temple crafted as a nine‑sided polygon with a radiant central dome. This book presents the architectural concept and a suite of nine design treatments, each showing a different style while keeping the same structural core.
The text frames the architectural problem and how the Mashrak-El-Azkar is planned to sit within a larger complex of grounds, gardens, and approaches. It then offers detailed design drawings and style descriptions, illustrating how form, function, and symbolism come together in a public, spiritual edifice.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a visual tour of nine preliminary designs for the first Mashrak-El-Azkar to be built in America. The Mashrak-El-Azkar is a Baha'i temple and will be a central building with worship, educational, and philanthropic institutions surrounding it. It is in the early stages of construction in Chicago and is one of many Baha'i temples built around the world and throughout history. These designs envision the building in nine different historical architectural styles, including Roman Classic, Byzantine, Persian, and Gothic. Through the visuals and accompanying text, this book illustrates the history of architecture, the evolution of religious spaces, and the significance of the Mashrak-El-Azkar. The goal of the Baha'i faith is to unite all religions, and its vision of one unified, harmonious world is reflected in its Mashrak-El-Azkar, which, through this book, will be of special interest to architects, historians, and anyone interested in interfaith dialogue and sacred spaces.
