David Wang's Architecture and Sacrament considers architectural
theory from a Christian theological perspective, specifically, the
analogy of being (analogia entis). The book tracks social and
cultural reasons why the theological literature tends to be
separate from contemporary architecture theory. Wang argues that
retrieval of the sacramental outlook embedded within the analogy of
being, which informed centuries of art and architecture in the
West, can shed light on current architectural issues such as "big
box stores," the environmental crisis and the loss of sense of
community. The book critiques the materialist basis of current
architectural discourse, subsumed largely under the banner of
critical theory. This volume on how European ideas inform
architectural theory complements Wang's previous book, A Philosophy
of Chinese Architecture: Past, Present, Future, and will appeal to
architecture students and academics, as well as those grappling
with the philosophical moorings of all built environments.
