How unique is the Baha’i Architecture?!!!

The Shrine of the Bab

The Shrine of the Bab is a structure in Haifa, Israel (Palestine in 1909) where the remains of the Bab. Abdul-Baha planned the structure, which was designed and completed several years later by his grandson, Shoghi Effendi.

The architect was William Sutherland Maxwell, a Canadian Baha’i who was a Beaux-Arts architect and the father-in-law of Shoghi Effendi. Shoghi Effendi provided overall guidance, including in the use of Western and Eastern styles, but left the artistic details to Maxwell.

Saint Isaac’s Cathedral in Saint Petersburg, Russia is the largest Russian Orthodox cathedral (sobor) in the city. The church on St Isaac’s was ordered by Tsar Alexander I, to replace an earlier Rinaldiesque structure. A specially appointed commission examined several designs, including that of the French-born architect Auguste de Montferrand (1786-1858), who had studied in the atelier of Napoleon’s designer, Charles Percier.

- The Baha’i Faith is a cult and Paste religion so also is its architecture

- Baha’i faith is an organization and not religion, its symbols are not religious but trademarks and anybody misusing it are tried in court. Haifan Baha’is are like that.
