Architecture has long been understood as a cultural discipline able to articulate the human condition and lift the human spirit; yet the spirituality of architecture is rarely directly addressed in academic scholarship. The seventeen chapters provide a diverse range of perspectives; grouped according to topical themes: Being in the World; Sacred; Secular; and the Contemporary Condition; Symbolic Engagements; Sacred Landscapes; and Spirituality and the Designed Environment. Even though the authors’ approach the subject from a range of disciplines and theoretical positions; all share interests in the need to rediscover; redefine; or reclaim the sacred in everyday experience; scholarly analysis; and design.
