Westhaven Mall should have been empty. Five workers are locked inside overnight to inventory the stores of a shopping center already dying around them.

Transcending Architecture considers the mysterious, profound, and real power of designed environments to address the spiritual dimension of our humanity. The book offers a wide, critical, and nuanced understanding of the lived relationship between the built and the numinous worlds. It examines phenomenological, symbolic and designerly ways in which the holy gets fixed and experienced through buildings, landscapes, and urban forms, and not just in institutionally defined religious or sacred places. Transcending Architecture brings together a stellar group of scholars and practitioners to share their insights: architect Juhani Pallasmaa and philosopher Karsten Harries, comparative religion scholar Lindsay Jones and architectural theoretician Karla Britton, sacred architecture researcher Thomas Barrie and theologian Kevin Seasoltz, landscape architect Rebecca Krinke and Faith & Form magazine editor Michael Crosbie, are among the illustrious contributors.

The Soul of the City: James Hillman on Architecture, Nature, Community, and the Psychology of Place argues that cities are not just containers for human life.

Using the ideas of James Hillman, this book presents a grounded way to think about the psyche as something expressed in the world around us, not sealed inside the individual mind. It asks why one block feels inviting and another feels harsh, why some neighborhoods hold identity while others feel ...
