House and Home - Cultural Contexts, Ontological Roles

Info autore

Thomas Barrie, AIA is Professor of Architecture at North Carolina State University, USA. His scholarship focuses on alternative histories of architecture and, in particular, the interrelationship of a culture’s religious beliefs and socio-political agendas, and the communicative and ritual roles of the built environment. He is the author of The Sacred In-Between: The Mediating Roles of Architecture (Routledge, 2010), and Spiritual Path, Sacred Place: Myth Ritual and Meaning in Architecture (Shambhala, 1996), and co-editor of Architecture, Culture, and Spirituality (Barrie, Bermudez, and Tabb, Ashegate, 2015).

Riassunto

This book provides broadened contexts, perspectives and understandings of "home," and provides a unique scholarly contribution to an often misunderstood and inadequately researched subject.
