Religion is always a touchy subject no matter what creed or background the person is you are discussing it with. That said, I think it’s safe to say that armored churches are the greatest invention in the history of organized faith.
Artists Kris Kuksi and Wim Delvoye have finally found a way to make religion entertaining without handing it over to the corporations. Just imagining rolling through some industrial area blowing up derelict buildings all the while saying the Lord’s Prayer. Sounds like a Sunday to me! Imagine taking this on a field trip if you were ever in a religious elementary school.
Armored churches, not just strengthening faith, but making it bulletproof.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Religious Armor
- A trend towards fortified religious structures for increased security and protection.
- Artistic Faith
- A trend towards using art and creativity to engage with organized religion and make it more appealing to a younger generation.
- Unconventional Places of Worship
- A trend towards alternative spaces, such as armored vehicles and mobile structures, being used as places of worship.
Sectors Adopting This
- Religious Institutions
- Religious institutions may capitalize on technological innovations and creative approaches to enhance their appeal and community engagement.
- Defense and Security
- The development and manufacture of religious fortified structures and equipment presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the defense and security industry.
- Art and Design
- Artists, designers, and architects can explore innovative approaches to create visually appealing and functional structures for religious institutions.
