Saint Sarkis Armenian Church, located in the north Dallas suburb of Carrollton, has received the most votes in the poll for US Building of the Year 2022, world-architects.com informed.

Designed by David Hotson Architect, the church reaches far back in time and thousands of miles across the globe to link itself with Armenian traditions and people.

Saint Sarkis Armenian Church was consecrated on April 23, 2022, and held its first Sunday service one day later, on April 24, the traditional day for commemorating the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian Genocide.

Saint Sarkis Armenian Church, derives its form from the 7th-century Saint Hripsime Church in Armenia, and it memorializes the genocide in an image of the Armenian “tree of life” composed of exactly 1.5 million circular icons—each one unique, like the lives that were taken over a century ago, world-architects.com added.
