About the Event

Many members of the architectural and academic cultures hesitate to use the so-called “S” Word. The “S” word, either “sacred” or “spiritual,” is avoided in favor of words that are less suggestive of religious belief such as “immeasurable,” “ineffable,” “oceanic,” “absence,” and “void.” But can one really uncouple the act of belief—the coming together as a community of believers—from the space in which that gathering happens, and why it happens? This presentation explores the hesitancy to use the “S” word, the nature of “sacred architecture” versus an “architecture of the sacred,” the growing interest of young architects and students to explore the spiritual in their work, and the place of architects and architecture in creating sacred space.
