Type of Course: Lecture, Discussion, Projects
Explores traditional and contemporary experiences of the sacred in spatial terms-—through study of spatial and natural archetypes (i.e., mandala, threshold, cave, mountain); geometric harmonies in nature, art and architecture; sacred and secular architectural forms (temple, stupa, shrine, indigenous village architecture); geomancy or the relationship between built and natural environments; and ancient and contemporary expressions of the natural world as Gaia, manitou or sacred geography.
