The 3rd International Seminar “Architectures of the Soul” aims to promote scientific study and discussion on architecture associated with spiritual practices centred on the search for the wilderness and the experience of solitude. A multidisciplinary approach will be favoured, at the crossroads between different fields of knowledge and perspectives – between history, architecture, landscape architecture, the study of cultural heritage, art history, among others – as well as a comparative perspective, based on similar studies conducted in other geographies of the southern Mediterranean. This furthermore particularly emphasises digital methods and technologies as applied to religious architecture.
Participation is free of charge, although registration is required.
