In Spiritus Loci Bert Daelemans, who graduated as an architect and
a theologian, provides an interdisciplinary method for the
theological assessment of church architecture. Rather than a
theory, this method is based on case studies of contemporary
buildings (1995-2015), which are often criticized for lacking
theological depth. In a threefold method, the author brings to
light the ways in which architecture can be theology - or theotopy
- by focusing on topoi (places) rather than logoi (words). Churches
reveal our relationship with God by engaging our body, mind, and
community. This method proves relevant not only for the way we
perceive these buildings, but also for the way we use them,
especially in our prophetic engagement for a better world.
