Synopsis:
Because shelter is among the most basic of needs, architecture is perhaps the most fundamental of the arts-- and sacred architecture is charged with deepest meaning of all. In sacred architecture, elements known as "path" and "place" can be seen as archetypal forms representing the spiritual path and its goal. Thomas Barrie provides an in- depth survey of religious buildings and sites around the world--from Japanese Zen temples to the ancient circles of stones found in England and Normandy, from ancient Egyptian temples to contemporary churches and synagogues--to show how sacred architecture symbolizes the spiritual quest. Spiritual Path, Sacred Place includes detailed guided tours of several sites (chosen to reflect a range of religions, regions, and historical periods), each illustrated with dozens of photographs and drawings, including: The temple of Amun-Re, Karnak, Egypt The "sacred way" and temple of Apollo, Delphi, Greece Koto-in Zen temple, Kyoto, Japan The Cathedral of Sainte-Madeleine, Vızelay, France Brion-Vega Cemetery, designed by Carlo Scarpa, San Vito de Altiviole, ItalyThe author highlights common elements found in these and other religious sites and suggests ways that contemporary architects can learn from the architecture of the past.
