In most of the history and contemporary developments of religious traditions, the built environment (i.e., architecture, places of worship, built infrastructures etc.) have been a significant part of religious communities’ identity and practice. Often, religious architectures were among the central locations around which cities, territories, and sometimes even entire civilizations developed. In this seminar, we will examine the varied relations of religions and built environments, addressing examples from diverse traditions and discussing different systematic and theoretical approaches to this topic.
