Summary/Abstract: The ecclesial space, as outlined over time, highlights the permanent human's relationship with the divine, expressed in basic architectural forms.Byzantine ecclesiastical space is distinguished by characteristic forms, which differentiate it from the rest of religious spatial typologies. Is this a mark of tradition to be preserved or the form of Byzantine architectural space can be changed according to the new techniques and technologies while keeping its symbolic essence?
