The US-based journal Faith and Form recently announced the winners in its annual International Awards Program for Religious Art & Architecture.

The 27 winners were selected from some 120 submissions, nine of which were submitted in the category of “adaptive re-use/re-purpose’ – instituted two years ago to recognise “the growing trend in sacred architecture to adapt existing facilities, or to transform secular buildings into religious facilities”.

Submissions for the 2018 program open on 1st April.

Here are six of the 2017 winners:
