How construction shapes religious architecture Saint Prokop Church
Religious architecture is considered the center of faith, culture and values of a society, as well as an object of contemplation for centuries.
Its intricate construction and reconstruction and interweaving of materials, design and engineering is what gives these sacred spaces their eternal form.

Today, with contemporary construction methods, we are witnessing the art of rebuilding sacred spaces in order to preserve religious heritage.
Saint Prokop’s Church in Tirana is the perfect example that construction is not just a practical process, but a deep artistic expression.
The decision to use reinforced concrete for all the architectural elements, such as the domes, arches, bell tower and facade is a bold choice in the case of creating a space that is rooted in history.
Creating architecture that resonates with the spiritual needs of the community requires more than technical expertise. It requires a deep understanding of religious traditions and symbolism.
Close collaboration with church leaders has been integral to ensuring that the rebuilt church stays true to its spiritual core while embracing modern building techniques.
The reconstruction of Prokopi’s church shows that even in the face of challenges, sacred spaces can be reborn. That even in the present, we can build structures that stand the test of time.
