SG207 Sacred Geometry in Architecture, Sacred Sites & Green Design

In all ancient cultures, priority was given to define the harmonious relationship of mankind with the universe, creating in the process a variety of cosmologies. Sacred buildings and temples were the sites where this relationship was practiced: the local energy conditions, the architecture and the attending rituals allowed for a concentration of spirit power and an expansion of consciousness. These places of celestial connection eventually became sacred sites of worship, pilgrimage and vision-questing. Architecture was primarily an inner wisdom applied externally by architects and geomancers gifted with spiritual vision.

Before visiting the Phi-based proportions of a variety of world-famous sacred sites, we first review the traditions of sacred architecture and geomancy, and their achievements around the world. A chapter is specially devoted to the geometric wisdom embodied in the French cathedrals.
Chapters 4 and 5 are introducing the progressive re-emergence of a new awareness in architecture, city & community planning, green sustainability and harmonic living design. Architecture is becoming a new expanded geomancy: it is changing into an art of wisdom, committed to co-create and manage spaces & environments that integrate people with the web of life - rather than separating them from it.

The upcoming generation of architects are global healers. Merging the wisdom of ancient traditions with the organic flexibility of sustainable building materials and the computing power of technology, they offer green designs, on a small and large scale, whose goal is to enhance what we now understand as the beneficial flows of life force and the harmonic inter-connectedness with nature and the universe. We introduce some names of pioneers and give some examples of this rehabilitation of trivial architecture into the perennial and noble art of transformational and sacred architecture helping people to dance again with the universe.

In essential awareness, there is only one sacred site: your own Self, the Heart of your being.
