摘要

As Americans recovered from World War II, they gravitated toward religion and the suburbs. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, for example, in seven often years from 1960 to 1970, Americans spent more than $1 billion annually on the construction of sacred spaces. Gretchen Buggeln's The Suburban Church: Modernism and Community in Postwar America provides a place in historical scholarship forthese understudied buildings. Buggeln connects daily life with religious life as she tells us about not only the church buildings but also the social and educational rooms, administrative offices, and recreational spaces that completed the complexes. Her introduction, "New Times, New Architecture: Making a Place for Religion in the Postwar Suburbs," reminds us of the pervasiveness of these sites as thousands were built in the postwar decades. Furthermore, the traditional, revival styles of the pre-World War II years gave way to an architecture inspired by modernism, as congregations sought designers who would create forms they thought were more appropriate to life after the war. The focus is on seventy-five examples from the Midwest, drawing on work completed mainly in the suburbs of Chicago and Minneapolis by three architects, Edward Dart of Barrington, Illinois; Edward Sovik of Northfield, Minnesota; and Charles Stade of Park Ridge, Illinois. All were leaders in the field of ecclesiastical design, although their work has not been well documented until this book.
