Spiritual Approaches to the Built Environment: This film explores the spiritual dimension of the built environment and its impact on everyday life. Produced by the Architecture, Culture and Spirituality Forum (ACSF) in partnership with the Center of Theological Inquiry, the film documents a series of roundtable discussions held on 2023 in Princeton, New Jersey that included experts from a range of disciplines and explored spiritual approaches to ethical, environmental, and transcendent issues and the built environment:
• Justice and Participation, addressed spatial, economic, environmental, and professional injustices
• Environmental Adaptation and Ecotechnology, climate change, globalization, and urbanization
• Transcendent Human Habitats, the loss of place, cultural identity and meaning.
This resulting film is an urgent call for the design professions, religious leaders and the public at large to seek, design, and implement holistic solutions to our most pressing problems.
