Why are Mormon temples so ugly?

If only there were buildings bigger than 1500 square feet that offers employment in Cedar City

Ya. I lived there for a few years and finding a job was a bitch. I worked at little cesars for 5.15 per hour

They tried that in downtown SLC but that certainly wasn't how it was received.

Guaranteed the Tijuana tourism board is already running that temple picture on the front of their brochure. It almost convinces you that the city isn't a giant dirt pit. I like it.

Here is some aerial footage of it:

Bumping this a bit. There've been a couple new additions that I think have good architecture:

Arequipa, Peru

Fortaleza, Brazil

Port-au-Prince, Haiti

I actually really like the Haiti one. I know it’s pretty basic but it’s quite sleek. In the late 90s to early 2000s, the church began construction of an unprecedented number of temples. To facilitate this, there was one particular design that was about 10,700 square feet that was used in many locations. This was quite efficient as it was able to bring temples to many places that did not have one near by, but aesthetically they’re fairly underwhelming. I suppose the biggest thing I can’t get past is the awkward assemytry. The Haiti Temple, however, is just barely over 10,000 square feet, smaller than the other ones, and I think they knocked it out of the park.

Three-year bump here. They've diversified a number of newer temples and I'll post a couple samples of those.

Richmond, Virginia:

Lima, Peru (#2):

Taylorsville, Utah (my personal fav):

Phnom Penh, Cambodia:

Neiafu, Tonga:

It’s weird driving by that spot in Taylorsville. That stake center was there when I was a kid in that area. I played softball on that field. Probably played basketball in the gym too. Now the building is gone and they’re going to put a temple there.
one of the jobs I’m doing down in St. George is lIke 8 blocks from the new Red Cliffs Temple down there. Too bad I’ll be long done before they even get close to starting it.

You’re going to St. George? Dang. I gave a referral for someone who was looking for work in Bountiful of SL.

The cambodian one is really cool. I like the throw-back architecture.

The Bangkok, Thailand and Bengaluru, India have similar architecture, but I like the Cambodian one the most. It's more sleak.

I’ve been doing the electrical for all the new GOAT Haircuts (goathaircuts.com) locations. They’re expanding like crazy and St. George is on their list. Halfway through one down there with two more coming. Plus one in Logan, plus more throughout the Salt Lake Valley. Plus they’ve started looking back into Utah County.

Nate they do open houses from time to time, check one out next time they do one close to you.

I like how most of them look. Which is about all that matters to me since I'll never see one from the inside.
