Abstract:

In contemporary research (theoretical and architectural projects) of Christian sacred architecture it has been observed that there is a lack of understanding of the phenomenon of space as one of the symbols of sacred architecture.The goal of this paper is to point out the importance of observing the space (architecture) as a sacred symbol, because a problem has been recognised, dealing with the lack of fundemantel definition in the interpretation of the sacred space.In this paper, the research will be carried out by a comparative analysis of the religious concepts of the great religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as their materialisation through space.The expected result of the research is to confirm the hypothesis that space, as well as rituals, images, artistic works, etc. in sacred architecture has the role of a symbol. Space has the task of keeping the basic concepts of religions and of being a mediator of the experience of faith.

Abstract:

The Catholic Church building always displays symbols and ornaments as an expression of religious (sacred) faith and atmosphere. Symbols in the form of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects arranged and beautified the church as well as religious significance. Symbols and ornaments are placed inside the church (interior) and outside the church (exterior), function to support the atmosphere of the church visually and help appreciate aesthetic, psychological and religious faith. Regina Caeli Catholic Church in Pantai Indah Kapuk Jakarta is a Catholic church that is characterized by modern architecture and features symbols and ornaments on the interior and exterior of the church. This paper describes the existence of symbols and ornaments -symbols in the church associated with obedience to the principles of modern architecture that underlies the design of the church. The research problem is how the existence of symbolic symbols and ornaments in the Regina Caeli Catholic Church, which are modern-minimalist architecture? The study was carried out by analyzing secondary data (photos and texts) and literature studies, then compared with the basic guidelines of Catholic church architecture and the principles of modern architecture. As a result, Regina Caeli's Catholic Church architecture is a modern architecture with a modern-minimalist expression. The existence of a symbol of the cross marks the existence of a Catholic church visually, the interior ornaments strengthen the uniqueness as a sacred (religious) space. The Regina Caeli Catholic Church has a modern architecture and provides a place for symbolic symbols and ornaments; there is a mixture of modern architecture with church symbolism as a relogious building.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the history of changes in the role of art and the meaning of the symbol in the formation of the sacred space of architecture, which is presented through the consideration of the symbolic understanding of material forms and objects in the traditional and modernist representation. The historical development of the concept of symbol and its representation in art and architecture is presented. The development of the aesthetic category of "beauty" in historical development is represented. Three theories of understanding the concepts of the symbol are considered: "traditional", "hegelian" and "cashier", which in the twentieth century had almost the same influence. The source of origin and interpretation of the content of the symbol in the sacred space is presented. The role of a person (artist and recipient) is analyzed, which is to read the revealed symbols and write them in language, myths or art in a way accessible to human resources. The phenomenon of perception in certain visible figures of objects is an expression of a more general situation, an expression of a certain type of views or collective beliefs. Symbols pointing out not to the sacred reality, but to certain intellectual tendencies, social situations or expressions of culture are singled out. Contradictions in the perception of sacred space and reading the symbolism of its content are considered. Religion, art, science, language are presented as forms of human thinking about reality with forms of epistemologically understandable symbol. The need to take into account the relationship between certain forms and messages that are transmitted through them in the formation of sacred space. There is also an attempt to adapt the principles of modernism to the needs of the formation of sacred space based on the concept of "seven plans" by Rudolf Schwartz, in which after the suspension of historical knowledge seeks the essence of the phenomenon, understood as its constant feature.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the problem of the formation of a spiritual worldview, the spiritualization of a person, a meeting with the sacred world, God, which is very relevant in the modern technogenic world, through communication with the sacred art, which has its own symbolic language, its own characteristic for each religion, signs that are important for a person as a spiritual, in its main essence, being. The author reveals the nature of sacred art, compares attitudes towards it in the Middle Ages and in our time, reveals the deep symbols of sacred architecture and painting in Christianity, sacred architecture in Islam, and painting in Chan Buddhism. A comparative analysis of the symbols of the sacred art of these religions showed the profound unity of their main ideas: the idea of creating the world in the Void (Creatio ex Nihilo), the idea of the creation of the world by Light, the idea of the manifestation of the Word of God in Christianity and Islam; revealed the common goal of the sacred art of these religions — unity with God, the spiritual world, nature by getting rid of their egoistic subjectivity; discovered a similarity in the creative process of an icon painter in Christianity and an artist in Chan Buddhism and led to conclusions about the synonymy of the concepts of God in Christianity, Allah in Islam and Emptiness in Buddhism.

Title: The Religious Architecture of Tiwah Feast among Dayak Ngaju as Cultural Tourism Attractions in Central Kalimantan The belief to a transcendent space among Dayak Ngaju people, especially for Kaharingan believers in Central Kalimantan, leads to the Tiwah Feast, a secondary funeral ceremony to transmit the soul of the dead to a celestial realm called The Lewu Tatau. The Tiwah Feast manifests in many meaningfulness of sacred symbols. There are certain rules in the implementation, particularly on the physical symbols and its religious architectures. This article emphasize the uniqueness of the symbols on the religious architecture of Tiwah Feast, which has the potential to become tourist attraction in the development of cultural tourism products. Using qualitative methods, data obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, in two different locations, in Tumbang Koling and Ramang Village. Sacred symbols on its religious architecture include Sapundu and Sandong. A sapundu manifests in the form of a human or animal figure, regarding to the personification of the ancestral spirit. It shows the way for the soul towards Lewu Tatau. Meanwhile, Sandong is a secondary burial coffin to put the ancestral bones. The construction and architecture should concern on foundation, size, height, carvings, and ornaments. This local wisdom is potential to be developed as a cultural tourism attraction. However, the sacredness of the Tiwah Feast must be maintained and preserved from cultural commercialization and commodification issues.

Abstract:

As a place of holy worship, a Catholic Church should posses a sacred interior and exterior expression. Modernization has caused a good deal of this sacred expression of the Catholic Church to fade. As Catholic Church is a place of worship that supports all liturgical activities, semiotic theory are used to analyze and decipher its architecture to preserve sacredness. The research methodology that was employed was qualitative methods using Peirce’s semiotic principles and their implementation in Church architecture. The principle was then used to analyze two case studies in every detail of their draw up. The area of planning encompassed: (1) Scope of the surrounding environment; (2) Scope of the site; (3) Scope of the form. This analysis employed semiotic principles that were elaborated with Catholic Church principles to create a guideline in the architectural planning of a Catholic Church. The purpose of this research is to find the most dominant sacral expression between Santo Petrus Church and the Santa Perawan Maria Tujuh Kedukaan Church by means of the symbols attached to the architectural elements between these two Catholic Churches.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the imitation of traditional historical forms in the formation of sacred space. The main examples of world architecture are presented, which partially or completely copy the historical forms. The development of the sacred architecture of the modernist epoch in its imitation is represented. The phenomenon of perception in certain visible figures of objects is an expression of a more general situation, an expression of a certain type of views or collective beliefs. The using of traditional forms in modernist architecture is considered, which at the same time is not a complete rejection of modernist preferences, but also an attempt to reinterpret the geometry of traditional historical forms. The combination of national landscape and local specifics and European established traditional forms of sacred space is presented. Contradictions in the perception of sacred space and reading the symbolism of its content are considered. An attempt is also made to adapt the principles of modernism to the needs of the formation of sacred space, in which, after the suspension of historical knowledge, the essence of the phenomenon under study is sought, which is understood as its invariable feature. Religion, art, science and language are presented as forms of human thinking about reality with forms of epistemologically understandable symbol. The need to take into account the relationship between certain forms and messages that are transmitted through them in the formation of sacred space. Symbols pointing out not certain sacred reality, but certain intellectual tendencies, social situations or expressions of culture are singled out.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the iconic temples of the twentieth century designed by the Hungarian architect Imre Makovec. The anthroposophical theory of architecture is presented, which assumed that the world and man are permeated with various types of spiritual forces, thanks to the forms of objects of the visible world, they can be strengthened or weakened. The understanding of the harmony of forms in the formation of the sacred space is presented. The architecture of sacred buildings erected according to the principle of organic architecture is considered. It is determined that the forms created by Makovech do not belong to any of the "languages" of architectural expression that have been created so far. The article presents a view on the mysterious nature of the connection of people in society – close to the types of connections that connect religious communities, as well as the concept of architecture as a bridge between heaven and earth, which also changed the approach to a building as an exclusively material object. The forms of individual sacred structures and the ways of organizing their interiors were analyzed, which made it possible to conclude that the ideas of reviving the unity of the surrounding landscape, the tendency to use local materials (primarily wood), but also a more general, philosophical attitude, allows us to consider architecture as an element that binds forces space with human life. The use of the metaphorical language of Makovech's architecture is considered based on the world of visual human products and their iconographic distinctive features. Revealed the need to take into account the relationship between certain forms and messages, through them are transmitted to the formations of the sacred space. An attempt is also presented to adapt the principles of modernism to the needs of the shaping of the sacred space. The tendencies of the formation of the sacred space in the twentieth century are revealed, namely: anthroposophical; continuation and development of Christian symbols.

Abstract:

Det sägs att Sverige är världens mest sekulariserade land, ett påstående som kan diskuteras och som väcker frågor kring vad som går förlorat nar vi lämnar religionen bakom oss. Även om allt färre är religiosa i ordets mer traditionella bemärkelse, finns det ett stort behov av att hålla ceremonier. Uppkomsten av spirituella fenomen i vår samtid hintar om en längtan efter något slags återsakralisering. Genom att bearbeta den universella betydelsen av troskeln, placerad mitt emellan kaos och kosmos, har projektets huvudsyfte varit att skapa en ceremoniell byggnad och en askspridningsplats som verkar bortom konfessionella gränser. Ambitionen är att projektet ska bidra med tyngd, stämning och värdighet, kvaliteter som ofta går forlorade när ceremonier flyttar ut ur det religiosa rummet. Byggnademas arkitektoniska laddning består av illusioner, sekvenser och symboler. Tre teman som kombinerats med mer traditionella, men bearbetade arkitektoniska kvaliteter i sakrala rum for att skapa relevans i vår sekulariserade värld. För att avgränsa ämnet har byggnaderna utformats med fokus på ceremonier for avsked.

The very mention to the architecture of the sacred induces one to imagine the artistic conception of a temple-building. This attitude stems from the fact that the analysis of such architecture is usually focused on its styles, techniques and applied materials, as well as on the acclaiming of its authors that is, on aesthetic and economic values. There is no literature devoted to examining the constructive and ornamental elements of such architecture as transmitters of religious meaning, their true and important reason for existence. On the other hand, the proposal of this study is to unveil the constructive or ornamental symbolic elements existing in external or internal, natural or constructed architectonic spaces, which are able to interfere in the way individuals undergo religious experience. It aims at analysing how form in sacred art and architecture potentiates the function of propitiating the meeting with the Sacred. The apprehension of the object of study has been carried out through field research, photograph records, in loco observation and field notes. Brazil has been defined as the universe of research, and the focus of analysis comprised Brazilian Colonial and Imperial periods, particularly from the XVIth to the XIXth Centuries, and the architectural and art styles which have then taken place, that is, Plain, Baroque and Rococo. This work is organised in five chapters. The first one examines social life, symbology and sacred architecture. In the section entitled Social and Mystic-Religious Life , a brief incursion into Brazilian prehistory and into Portugal and Brazil during Portuguese colonisation is made. Then, a general analysis of symbols takes place, and the recurring ones are particularised. A brief summary of sacred architecture in general, as well as Plain, Baroque and Rococo architectural styles and their respective peculiarities in the States of Minas Gerais and Pernambuco concludes the chapter. In the second chapter, the architecture and symbology of three pernambucano Plain-style churches are analysed. The third, fourth and fifth chapters are respectively dedicated to first and second-stage Baroque and Rococo. In each of them, the architecture and symbology of one mineiro and one pernambucano church are examined. In conclusion, this study intended to evidence that knowing the symbols present in churches enables us to understand what makes the architecture of the sacred bear the sacred in architecture.
A simples menção à arquitetura do sagrado induz a imaginar a concepção artística de um edifício-igreja. Essa postura decorre do fato de a análise dessa arquitetura ter, normalmente, como foco seus estilos, técnicas e materiais empregados e a consagração dos autores, portanto valores estéticos e econômicos. Na literatura, não há trabalhos destinados ao exame dos elementos construtivos e ornamentais dessa arquitetura como transmissores de significados religiosos, sua verdadeira e importante razão de existir. Neste estudo, seguindo outra direção, propôs-se a descobrir os elementos simbólicos, construtivos ou ornamentais, presentes no espaço arquitetônico como ambiente, externo ou interno, natural ou construído e capazes de gerar no indivíduo interferências em seu viver da experiência religiosa. Com ele, pretende-se proceder à análise da forma na arte e arquitetura sagradas como potencializadora da função de propiciar o encontro com o Sagrado. A apreensão do objeto de estudo efetivou-se com a pesquisa de campo, o registro por meio de fotografias, observações no local e anotações de campo. Como universo de investigação, foi delimitado o Brasil e o foco de análise, de forma particular, os períodos Colônia e Império, do século XVI ao século XIX, e os estilos de arquitetura e arte ocorridos nesses momentos, ou seja: o Chão, o Barroco e o Rococó. Este trabalho é composto de cinco capítulos. O primeiro versa sobre a vida social, a simbologia e a arquitetura sagrada. Na seção intitulada Vida Social e Místico-Religiosa , faz-se uma pequena incursão à pré-história brasileira, a Portugal e ao Brasil no período da colonização portuguesa. A seguir, realiza-se uma análise geral de símbolos e particularizam-se os mais recorrentes. O capítulo é finalizado com um pequeno apanhado da arquitetura sagrada geral, assim como das arquiteturas Chã, Barroca e Rococó, e suas particularidades em Minas Gerais e Pernambuco. No segundo capítulo analisam-se a arquitetura e simbologia de três igrejas chãs pernambucanas. No terceiro, quarto e quinto capítulos são examinadas a arquitetura e a simbologia em uma igreja mineira e em uma pernambucana, respectivamente nos estilos Barroco da primeira fase, Barroco da segunda fase e Rococó. Como encerramento, buscou-se mostrar que com o conhecimento dos símbolos presentes nas igrejas, é possível compreender aquilo que faz a arquitetura do sagrado guardar em si o sagrado da arquitetura.

Abstract:

Under consideration are the temple layouts at Delphi and the Athenian Acropolis which were shaped in completely different ways. What they have in common, however, is that both represent an architecture on two hierarchic levels: the upper or sacred level as symbolised by the eternal principle expressed in both elevated Doric temples, which are placed in dramatic juxtaposition with features in their natural settings (earth, horizon, sky); and the lower, human level which is represented by the auxiliary buildings of the approach areas of these temple complexes. The latter buildings are smaller than the main temples and are marked by complexity and ambiguity in that they are imperfect, of varied design and not oriented to a geometric axis, which is in complete contrast to the serenity of the fully articulated superior Doric order exemplified by the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and the Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis. In both cases the focus will be on the perceptual totality of the group designs.

Abstract:

The subject of the diploma thesis is the design of a new Roman Catholic church with conveniences, which will be located in the city of Brno - Líšeň, in the northwestern part of the cadastral area Líšeň, on a sloping plot, between Horníkova and Molákova streets, near the youth center ("Saleska"). The church will serve the Roman Catholic Congregation of the Selesians, who are attended to the education and work with children and youth. The church will be dedicated to the third Divine Person of the Holy Spirit. The main aim of the church is to be a place of meeting in the community of believers, but also a quiet and peaceful place to meet God. The proposal will also consider the construction of a vicarage, which should be a meeting place for parishioners at various events with the possibility of accommodating the Salesians. The idea is proceeded on the main symbols of the Salesians. The design is based on the idea of a home, a circle, which symbolizes the family atmosphere. It is derived from three pillars. The sense, the religion and the kindness, standing on a triangular background that serve as points to create a community bounded by circles. This fellowship is defined by three circular segments in the form of reinforced concrete framework structures, each of them represents one of the divine persons of the Holy Trinity. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The gaps among the structures serve for such an illumination, which does not distract the attention from the church to the outside environment and preserves the peace and the spirituality in the interior.

Abstract:

Though many representations of Appalachian religious practices describe conservative, stagnant, xenophobic, and backward traditions, some authors present Christian practices in Appalachia as a potential source of social and individual progressiveness. Denise Giardina in Storming Heaven and The Unquiet Earth, Jim Wayne Miller in "Brier Sermon: 'You Must Be Born Again,'" and Lee Smith in Fair and Tender Ladies all represent "mountain religion" practices that offer relevancy not only to the characters in the novel but also to the reader. Analysis of these works through their symbolic representations of uniquely Appalachian religious traditions reveals the authors' commitment to sacralizing social and individual struggle through the sacred and mimetic transformations of characters and communities. By reusing and reinterpreting sacred patterns, both biblical and more contemporary regional patterns, the authors associate their works with sacred and regional traditions, demonstrating the viability, the flexibility, and the vitality of regional religious practices.

Abstract:

The Christian church has been an inherent part of human continuity for more than thousand years. The external appearance of the Christian church has always reflected societal transformations as well as turning points in history. Moreover, it has become an integral part of our existence both in space and time. Nowadays, we frequently hear that the crisis of European society is in effect an identity crisis, an inability to ask about where we are heading and what the meaning of life is. The reduction of time givenness to the already limited scope of our own physical existence destroys the ability in a man to ask questions and find answers to them, or even enquire about the meaning and essence of things. The carefree, dispersed husk blown by the wind may seem to be free and independent; however, it has also stopped trying to actively find paths for future generations. One of the fundamental attributes of an architect should be a strong aptitude for synthetic thinking, which includes multiple knowledge of social cognition, i.e. in the currentness of present experience as well as in time. This knowledge should ideally help to identify the core of problem, and to define the general rules applicable, regardless of changes in social demand, trends or taste. This dissertation, concerned with the “change” of the Christian church, ought to provide a compact, effective platform based on a synthesis of all analytical findings in the areas of architecture, liturgy, history, and theology. This platform can be applied in architectural practice, education (both architectural and theological), pastorage, and other wide, well-researched social discourses on the current form of the Christian sacred space, its basis and likely future development. The emphasis should be put on individual interpretation of a target group rather than dogmatic interpretation of dramatic revelations. Therefore, the first half of the dissertation will analyse the theological and symbolic basis, and historic transformations. Whilst, the second half will depict the current approach to the creation of sacred space in both newly built churches and the ongoing conversions of existing spaces. In conclusion, the dissertation will debate the future direction of sacred space in post-Christian Europe.

Abstract:

The ongoing war in Syria is reaching its fourth year, and over 1.5 million people have been forced to leave their homes into surrounding countries. This thesis looks at the Syrian refugees that have traveled to neighboring Jordan, and how religion has kept them stable in diaspora. Looking at Thomas Tweed's theory on translocative religion, I will show how diasporic religion symbolically moves in time and space through the use of sacred artifacts and rituals. Emile Durkheim's lens will reflect why human-made objects are sacred.

The Muslim Syrian refugees that took part in this research always identified with a vision of what the Syrian nation should be: a nation where religion could be practiced and where sectarianism did not divide the people. Benedict Anderson's "imagined community" makes that nation accessible in the imagination, since the refugees cannot physically be there.

Abstract:

<p>This article reflects the forms and shapes of the Roman Catholic cathedrals built in the 20th and 21st century in the Third World countries and the approach to its ideal design. Selected examples from the different developing countries all over the world are expounded on the background of the interference of the former colonizers countries architecture (e.g. Sacred Hearts Cathedral, Casablanca, Morocco), inspiration from the traditional architecture and materials (e.g. Basilica of Uganda Martyrs, Namugongo, Uganda), creating the own style (e.g. St. Paul’s Cathedral, Abidjan, Côte D’Ivoire) or following world trends (e.g. Sacred Heart Cathedral, Kericho, Kenya). The question of the life cycle of the architecture, its subsequently costs and well considered choice of the proper material as well as the shape and resulting form is discussed.</p>
