When people hear ‘religion and architecture’, they usually think of churches, temples, mosques, perhaps a shrine hidden somewhere in the forest if they are feeling slightly adventurous. In other words: buildings. Objects. It is not wrong, but it is limiting. A sacred space that works does not really ask to be looked at as anything material. If it works, you stop analysing and simply stand there — in awe or fear, absorbed, unsettled, perhaps moved, perhaps slightly disarmed. You feel first, and only later — if ever — begin to rationalise.

This is an invitation - here is home for your book on religion, spirituality, space and design.
