3. Sacred Architecture and Ritual Space
Sacred space is not a static container—it is activated through narrative and ritual. This lecture explores the full spectrum of Greek sacred environments, from hero shrines and domestic altars to processional routes and urban festival space. We’ll see how objects, relics, and symbols anchor these environments, and how movement, storytelling, and sensory staging transform them. Ancient, Byzantine, and modern examples reveal a continuity of spatial choreography that shapes the experience of the sacred.
