A pattern language for sacred secular places

Joseph, Melanie Rachel 16 August 2006 (has links)
“Pattern Language” is a term popularized by Christopher Alexander and his coauthors of the book A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction, Sara Ishikawa, and Murray Silverstein in the late 1970’s. Though intended to enable every citizen to design and construct their own home, pattern language never quite caught up with those in the field of architecture, mostly because of its lack of flexibility. The core idea of Alexander’s pattern language was to arm architects, designers, and the common people with a tool that would empower them to make informed decisions related to designing places that would comply with their needs and wants. What architecture needs the most today is the ability to heal and invigorate. I believe that contemporary architecture lacks such places that enable occupants to connect and communicate with what is within and what is without. A number of studies have proven that universally sacred (a majority of which are religious in function) places are charged with energies that could contribute towards this process. The energies, also referred to as “patterns,” are the energies unique to a place that make it special and sacred (not just in the religious context but also in the secular context). This thesis is an attempt to derive a new pattern language for the creation of sacred “secular” places like our homes and work places which draw from the pattern lists that have been proposed in four separate instances by authors including Christopher Alexander and Phillip Tabb. This new pattern list is aimed at providing architects and designers with a tool for creating secular places with an element of sacrality without having to taking on a religious meaning.

The role of the built environment in fulfilling the mission of the church : towards a missional theology of sacred space

McAlpine, William R. January 2006 (has links)
This project, investigating the relation between sacred places and the mission of the Church, explores the issue through the lens of historical and theological frameworks, as well as pursing a dialectic path with representatives from religious studies and the social sciences. Much of the research has spanned textual resources across a spectrum of eras and traditions, but a substantial portion of the project was qualitative case study research, involving two churches representing two disparate traditions within Christianity.  The two congregations were chosen based on their well-articulated mission statements and their involvement in major relocation and building projects, providing excellent contexts to examine how their missions were embodied in and informed the design of their new physical facilities. The reflective transformative methodology was employed in this investigation, largely informed by the critical correlational practical theology approach developed by two key scholars, David Tracy and Don S. Browning. The link between mission and sacred place can facilitate either one-way or two-way movement.  The dictum that form must follow function is a one-way street demanding challenge.  A synergistic dynamic needs to exist between mission and sacred places and unless intentionally attended to, the dynamic can easily devolve into an adversarial, counter-productive reality, only avoided if sacred places are considered an enabling aspect of the Church’s mission, rather than merely the context in which it is acted out.
