Light, Form, and Scale. On Seven Sacred Spaces by Simon Ungers

Abstract

Starting from the figure of Étienne-Louis Boullée we try to face a new reading of the Seven Sacred Spaces by Simon Ungers. Through the association of seven types of sacred spaces we determine the binomials that link the idea of sacred space, developed by Ungers, and the ability of buildings, like poetry, to awaken our senses that, for Boullée, leads architecture - as art - towards the sublime.
