The Framing of Sacred Space

The Canopy and the Byzantine Church

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

As architectonic objects of basic structural and design integrity, canopies provide means for an innovative understanding of the materialization of the idea of the Byzantine-rite church. The Framing of Sacred Space considers both the material and conceptual framing of sacred space and explains how the canopy bridges the physical and transcendental realms.
