Jerusalem, Israel

The third temple, according to Jewish tradition, is the Temple to be built in Jerusalem. It is based on an ideal description of the Book of Ezekiel, at place of the destroyed First Temple
"A third temple" interpretes the idea from Ezekiel's vision as a collection of religious and civil ceremonies. The same functions are relevant to a large population as such, and today, more than ever.

The role of religious structure today is changing.
From the religious icon that is tested, to ambiguous spaces that can reflect religious ideas alongside the spiritual and the civil. Although we think of minarets for Islam, and Gothic cathedrals for Catholicism, there is no fundamental or essential form for worship spaces in most major religions.
The impact religion hasover peace or war is existential and depends on the extent to which groups stretch their similarities or differences.
"A third temple" uses those similarities to attribute the power of each group to a common one.

The interreligious approach, promotes the planning of multi-communal temples. in several religious centers of the world.
The image of such a temple, in a city laden with the many spiritual meanings of Jerusalem, can create an inspirational prototype for such new temples. This activity can at the same time remove some of the economic and religious causes for the security hostilities.
