In Spiritus Loci Bert Daelemans, who graduated as an architect and a theologian, provides an interdisciplinary method for the theological assessment of church architecture. Rather than a theory, this method is based on case studies of contemporary buildings (1995-2015), which are often criticized for lacking theological depth. In a threefold method, the author brings to light the ways in which architecture can be theology – or theotopy – by focusing on topoi (places) rather than logoi (words). Churches reveal our relationship with God by engaging our body, mind, and community. This method proves relevant not only for the way we perceive these buildings, but also for the way we use them, especially in our prophetic engagement for a better world.
This beautifully illustrated book provides a crucial new look at Aldo Rossi's built work in relationship to his writings, drawings, and product design, and explores his contributions to the architecture in postwar Italy.
La cultura islámica en la Sicilia medieval ilustra cómo el gran patrimonio artístico y cultural de los árabes, que gobernaron la isla en los siglos X y XI, fue asimilado y reinterpretado durante el posterior reinado normando, y alcanzó su apogeo en la era resplandeciente de Ruggero II, en el siglo XII. Los espectaculares paisajes costeros y de montaña proporcionan el telón de fondo para las visitas a las ciudades, los castillos, jardines, iglesias y antiguas mezquitas cristianizadas. Diez recorridos le invitan a descubrir 91 museos, monumentos y yacimientos en Palermo, Monreale, Mazara del Vallo, Salemi, Segesta, Erice, Cefalú y Catania, entre otras localidades.
