Synopsis

For much of our history all architecture - not only religious monuments and buildings - created the physical context of the sacred. It can be seen in buildings as diverse as the Parthenon, Hopi initiation lodges, Stonehenge, the Temple at Luxor, the cathedrals, and the Palladian memory theatre, in which astronomical, mythical, geometric and structural patterns have been incorporated. Demonstrating how to understand the symbols of change provided by the buildings of our ancestors, this book explains how their sacred images are not merely stylistic ornaments, but also depict cosmic principles which still have relevance in architecture today. From the early astrological and mythical influences which determined the location, form and function of early monuments, the book travels through history up to the present time, showing how the reflection of the images of Earth and heaven in architecture has all but disappeared.
