ARCH 3990 - Special Problems in Architecture

Institution:

University of Detroit Mercy

Subject:

Architecture

Description:

For centuries the design of urban landscapes were influenced by a community's collective understanding of their relationship to a power greater than themselves. Until the modern age, these encounters were not limited to the confines of places of worship, but were also mediated in the public square. People would gather in public squares for ceremonies; they would pass through complex interactions between believers like themselves and others holding competing ideas. In contemporary times, cities are much more diverse in faith practice, and the influence of religion in forming the public square is often ignored. The focus of this seminar will be to explore the interaction between contemporary spaces dedicated to the sacred, and their intersection with the public square.
