What's Hot in Church Design

What’s “in” and what’s “out” for church design according to Pete Ed Garrett of Studio Red Architects.

“in”
hidden sound and lighting systems
technology on a par with a large concert hall
redesigning existing buildings
green friendly touches
Coffee bars, book stores
video games and food courts

“out”
traditional religious architecture
ornate iconography
cathedral-type churches
steeples and stained glass

You could also add- multi-functional buildings - ie. Schools+Day Care+Church+Recording Studios all in one.

Great post though.
