    Sacred Urbanism

    Sebastian Morello and Brian Scarffe explore the concept of sacred urbanism, arguing that urban environments can realise the transcendent through principles such as sacred geometry, biophilic design, and context-sensitive development. What would an architectural movement look like that privileged public places as communal fostering arenas for spiritual transformation, prioritising harmony between the built environment and the natural world of which it is an extension?
