Platform proposal

A comparable catalogue of the world's religious architecture.

No place exists today where a church can submit floor plans, video walkthroughs and technical documentation to be measured — against the same criteria — alongside any other church on the planet. Templum proposes that standard.

Ranking

Ordered by composite score. Each row uses an icon derived from the church's floor plan.

Real reference data (interior area and capacity as publicly documented) to illustrate how the comparison looks once evidence is loaded.

What documentation is accepted

Four upload channels, each feeding different criteria in the score.

PDF / records

Historical records, descriptive reports, inventories of assets. Feeds age, heritage and art scores.

CAD / DWG

Floor plan, sections and elevations. The primary source for area, volume and the plan icon.

Video / walkthrough

Interior walkthrough, exterior drone footage. Feeds architectural quality and state of preservation.

Photography

Interior, facade, ornamental detail. Cross-checks what's claimed in the rest of the evidence.

1 · Plan upload
PDF or DWG of the church, dimensioned or not.
2 · Outline extraction

3 · Simplification
The outline is reduced to a clean line icon.
4 · Review
Approved by hand before it's published next to the name.
