Information from the publisher

This volume therefore revisits the question of a "modern sacred space" from an interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on religion, space, and architecture during the emergence of the modern period and up until contemporary times. Revisiting the ways in which modern architects and artists have endeavored to create sacred spaces and buildings for the modern world will address the underlying questions of how religious ideas – especially those related to esotericism and to alternative religiosities – have transformed the way sacred spaces are conceptualized today."

About the series

The series aims at an interdisciplinary exchange on practices and concepts from the double perspective of space and time. Spatiality and temporality and their indissoluble correlation are analysed in historical and contemporary contexts and with regard to corresponding theories. The focus is on the significance of space-time in people's socio-cultural and lifeworld self-image and in media representations.
