9-10 December 2011, London, UK.
This international conference presents new research on specific manifestations of these larger historical and architectural currents. Speakers consider such themes as the relationships between church architecture and liturgy; the effects of Church patronage on architectural production; the role of lay communities in the production of church space; theology, phenomenology, and architecture; case studies of modern architects, including Le Corbusier and Rudolf Schwarz; the situation of church architecture within political and social contexts; and experiences from current architectural practice.
The keynote speaker is Professor Richard Kieckhefer, Professor of Religion and History at Northwestern University, Illinois, and author of one of the most important recent books on church architecture, Theology in Stone: Church Architecture from Byzantium to Berkeley.
