Abstract

This article discusses a research/drawing project entitled Abrahamic Architecture. The research explores the creation of graphite wall drawings towards the development of Jewish, Christian and Islamic architectural history and theory. The objective of the research is to address the gap that currently exists in architectural scholarship related to the co-authored synagogues, churches and mosques of the Abrahamic religions. These collaboratively built structures are termed 'Abrahamic' architecture. The research is investigated using research-creation methods that combine creative and traditional academic research techniques to support the development of knowledge through visual investigations.
