LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPECIAL ISSUE: Displacement, Security, Safety

  • 1.  LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPECIAL ISSUE: Displacement, Security, Safety

    Posted 09-21-2016 05:37 PM

    Sacred spaces and places have for millennia been the targets of manmade and natural disasters; our own age has been marked by tragedies at religious buildings and sites around the world. How do we make our sacred places and spaces more safe and secure in the event of displacement through attacks or natural calamities, and how can we make sacred spaces and places for communities in transition because of these events? This issue will explore the possibilities, techniques, and practices to create safe and secure sacred places and spaces that respond to upheavals in our contemporary world. If you have a design, art, or architecture (built or unbuilt) project that touches on this topic, or wish to contribute an article on this topic, please contact me at: mcrosbie@faithandform.com
