Summary/Abstract: Sacral architecture is one of the basic means of expression in shaping public sphere of residential forms. However, it is absolutely necessary to respond to the specific situation of man and society to don´t fix doctrine of sacral architecture into schematism of emptied forms. One of the first figures who thought about religious architecture in the spirit of the modern sensibility was the Czech architect Thomas Černoušek. Thomas Černoušek´s work is inspired by functionalist architecture concept, further by concept of colors by Piet Mondrian and also by conceptual thinking of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. However, he all these influences creatively develops from the viewpoint of negative-theological perspective.
