Scarborough Gospel Temple
Comments
Why do I feel like hiring a management consultant?
Because this looks less like a spiritual building and like a business park building for suburban offices of KPMG!
That's a temple! what a piece
That's a temple! what a piece of s**t. the 2nd photo makes it look like they installed a drive thru window so you could pray without getting out of the car.
Inappropriate design for a house of worship
The architecture isn't befitting a temple. It's more like a second-tier shopping mall or small town high school. It lacks any strong feature in its design, and all its details are soft. One might get the impression that the architect was reluctant to design a temple at all; it looks uninspiring. If you want to see a well done contemporary place of worship in Scarborough, look to the Scarborough Baptist Church by Stephen Teeple with a clear minimalist design language, engaging details, and the overall calm yet dynamic atmosphere of contemporary church architecture.

So we're supposed to believe there's a supreme being who created people who went to architecture school and then came up with this.
And thought it was good.
Righhhht.
