Abstract

This book, on Advances in Utopian Studies and Sacred Architecture, contains selected research from the International Conference on Utopian and Sacred Architecture Studies which was held in association with the university of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” of Italy. Research from the conference has undergone a rigorous review process thanks to the book editors and scientific committee of reviewers. The book explores the interdisciplinary field of utopian studies and specifically the relationship between architecture and utopia as one that is long- standing and pervasive. It namely draws upon the transition and even intersections between contemporary and historical geographies of sacred architecture and utopia while showcasing the different and emerging approaches with traces from the past.
