Space, the Sacred and the Imagination
Space, the Sacred and the Imagination
The Yale School of Architecture will jointly sponsor a book event with Cornell College of Architecture, Art, and Planning on the theme of two recent books which address contemporary architecture and religious thought: The Religious Imagination in Modern and Contemporary Architecture, co-edited by Renata Hejduk and James Williamson (Routledge, 2011) and Constructing the Ineffable: Contemporary Sacred Architecture edited by Karla Britton (Yale, 2010). This event will highlight the contribution of architects, historians, and theorists actively engaged in contemporary concerns of the sacred and the built environment. Panelists will be Steven Holl, Michael Hays, Mark Taylor, Renata Hejduk, James Williamson, and Karla Britton.
