Architecture
The construction of the house began in May 2008. The project was financed by the Government of Macedonia and carried out by the Ministry of Culture. It is a modern, transformed version of Mother Teresa's birth house and has a multifunctional, but sacral character. Inside the house, part of her relics are preserved, which have been transferred to Skopje with support of the Roman Catholic Church of Skopje. A fact that has been made public by Nikola Gruevski first at the grand opening. There is a museum and sculptures of Mother Teresa and the members of her family in realistic appearance. One sculpture shows Mother Teresa as a ten-year old child, sitting on a stone and holding a pigeon in her hands. The house also gives opportunity for cultural manifestations and bears a gallery. The architect of the project is Vangel Božinovski.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“I don’t think of form as a kind of architecture. The architecture is the result of the forming. It is the kinesthetic and visual sense of position and wholeness that puts the thing into the realm of art.”
—Roy Lichtenstein (b. 1923)
“It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
