Please join us for the fall 2023 architecture lecture series.  

Thomas Barrie is a professor of architecture and director of the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Initiative at the NC State College of Design. Barrie will present "The Critical Conversations Project: Spiritual Approaches to the Built Environment." Two parallel interests comprise Barrie’s teaching, scholarship and publication —  both of which occupy the common ground of syncretic approaches to meaningful placemaking in the built environment. The first focuses on alternative histories of architecture and, in particular, the interrelationship of a culture’s architecture and its cultural/religious beliefs. Barrie’s scholarship on the symbolism, ritual use and cultural significance of architecture has brought him to sacred places around the world, and he has published and lectured extensively on this subject area.
