Michael Crosbie, professor of architecture, was recently the featured guest on an episode of the podcast Visually Sacred: Conversations on the Power of Images. The episode, titled "Spatial Justice in Sacred Space," was the fifth of the podcast’s fourth season.
Visually Sacred presents critical conversations at the intersection of art, culture, and faith. In the episode, Crosbie spoke with host Arthur Aghajanian about the relationship between architecture and spirituality, with a focus on sacred architecture and spatial justice. They discussed the historical importance of sacred spaces, the role of inclusivity in design, and how materials and art contribute to meaningful environments. They also explored why accessibility and welcome are essential for sacred spaces if they’re to reflect and effectively serve the diversity of their communities.
