The places and spaces that inspire people of faith share commonalities with built form, have connections to the physical environment of creation, and engage the sensory experience of the arts.

Focusing on sacred spaces and religious architecture, but applicable to any spiritual or artistic space, this class will explore

  1. how “place” is marked and how symbol provides provide “presence,”  “invitation,” and “witness;”
  2. the ways in which light animates architecture and art;
  3. the importance of threshold for providing transition between and journey through spaces – interior and exterior; and,
  4. how spaces are ordered for meaning and aligned to support human communal experience.

This class is suitable for anyone of any skill-level interested in how people shape space that supports the celebration of their faith and spirituality.
