Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Space is essential for life, viewed as a divine gift. The human need for built environments is as fundamental as our ecological, social, and spiritual orientations. These spaces encourage connections between traditionally separate realms: aesthetics and ethics, nature and mind, body and soul, the divine and the worldly, as well as social change and continuity. The text explores how to deepen the links between aesthetics, ethics, and religion in architecture, questioning the need for "less aesthetics, more ethics." It delves into the spirituality of space and place, the significance of built environments for experiencing the God of the Here-and-Now, and the spatiality of the sacred. Contributions from various fields—architecture, art, philosophy, and theology—offer insights into this interdisciplinary domain. The contents include discussions on the interplay of aesthetics and ethics in architecture, the role of religion in secular times, the relationship between place and sculpture, and the concept of habitability as a deep aesthetic value. Other topics cover urban welfare, ecotheology, and the fusion of the sacred with technology, alongside artistic expressions that facilitate prayer and meditation.
