The Struggle for Jerusalem's Holy Places investigates the role of
architecture and urban identity in relation to the political
economy of the city and its wider state context seen through the
lens of the holy places. Reflecting the broad disciplinary
backgrounds of the authors, this book provides perspectives from
architecture, urbanism, and politics, and provides in-depth
investigations of historical, ethnographic and policy-related case
studies. The research is substantiated by fieldwork carried out in
Jerusalem over the past ten years as part of the ESRC Large Grants
project 'Conflict in Cities'. By analysing new dynamics of
radicalisation through land seizure, the politicisation of
parklands and tourism, the strategic manipulation of archaeological
and historical narratives and material culture, and through
examination of general appropriation of Jerusalem's varied rituals,
memories and symbolism for factional uses, the book reveals how
possibilities of co- existence are seriously threatened in
Jerusalem. Shedding new light on the key role played by everyday
urban life and its spatial settings for any future political
agreements about the city and its religious sites, this book is a
useful reference work for students and scholars of Middle East
Studies, Architecture, Religion and Urban Studies.
Phenomenologies of the City: Studies in the History and Philosophy
of Architecture brings architecture and urbanism into dialogue with
phenomenology. Phenomenology has informed debate about the city
from social sciences to cultural studies. Within architecture,
however, phenomenological inquiry has been neglecting the question
of the city. Addressing this lacuna, this book suggests that the
city presents not only the richest, but also the politically most
urgent horizon of reference for philosophical reflection on the
cultural and ethical dimensions of architecture. The contributors
to this volume are architects and scholars of urbanism. Some have
backgrounds in literature, history, religious studies, and art
history. The book features 16 chapters by younger scholars as well
as established thinkers including Peter Carl, David Leatherbarrow,
Alberto Perez-Gomez, Wendy Pullan and Dalibor Vesely. Rather than
developing a single theoretical statement, the book addresses
architecture's relationship with the city in a wide range of
historical and contemporary contexts. The chapters trace hidden
genealogies, and explore the ruptures as much as the persistence of
recurrent cultural motifs. Together, these interconnected
phenomenologies of the city raise simple but fundamental questions:
What is the city for, how is it ordered, and how can it be
understood? The book does not advocate a return to a naive sense of
'unity' or 'order'. Rather, it investigates how architecture can
generate meaning and forge as well as contest social and cultural
representations.

Modern Architecture and the Sacred provides a timely reappraisal of
the many ways in which architecture and the sacred have overlapped
in the 20th century. A wide range of case studies are presented
through 16 contributed chapters - including the work of iconic
modernist architects such as Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto and Mies van
der Rohe - which together demonstrate how sacred and semi-sacred
buildings are central phenomena in modernism. Such works have much
to reveal to us about the deeper motivations and complexities at
the core of the modernist project. The case material is not limited
simply to discussions of explicitly religious buildings (churches,
synagogues, etc), but looks outwards to invocations of the
'semi-sacred' within secular buildings too - museums, exhibition
pavilions, and memorials - which can all make claims at times to a
form of sacred space. This expansion of the notion of sacred space
sets this collection apart, providing a deeper insight into the
role that spirituality plays in modern architecture's philosophical
foundations, whether explicitly religious or otherwise.
This edited volume, Modern Architecture and the Sacred, presents a
timely reappraisal of the manifold engagements that modern
architecture has had with ‘the sacred’. It comprises fourteen
individual chapters arranged in three thematic sections –
Beginnings and Transformations of the Modern Sacred; Buildings for
Modern Worship; and Semi-Sacred Settings in the Cultural Topography
of Modernity. The first interprets the intellectual and artistic
roots of modern ideas of the sacred in the post-Enlightenment
period and tracks the transformation of these in architecture over
time. The second studies the ways in which organized religion
responded to the challenges of the new modern self-understanding,
and then the third investigates the ways that abstract modern
notions of the sacred have been embodied in the ersatz sacred
contexts of theatres, galleries, memorials and museums. While
centring on Western architecture during the decisive period of the
first half of the 20th century – a time that takes in the early
musings on spirituality by some of the avant-garde in defiance of
Sachlichkeit and the machine aesthetic – the volume also
considers the many-varied appropriations of sacrality that
architects have made up to the present day, and also in social and
cultural contexts beyond the West.
