This volume on how European ideas inform architectural theory complements Wang's previous book, A Philosophy of Chinese Architecture: Past, Present, Future, and will appeal to architecture students and academics, as well as those grappling with the philosophical moorings of all built environments. The book critiques the materialist basis of current architectural discourse, subsumed largely under the banner of critical theory. Wang argues that retrieval of the sacramental outlook embedded within the analogy of being, which informed centuries of art and architecture in the West, can shed light on current architectural issues such as "e big box stores,"e the environmental crisis and the loss of sense of community. The book tracks social and cultural reasons why the theological literature tends to be separate from contemporary architecture theory. Mode of access: Internet via World Wide Web.David Wang's Architecture and Sacrament considers architectural theory from a Christian theological perspective, specifically, the analogy of being (analogia entis). Chang writes that these qualities make architectonic forms "come alive, become human, naturally harmonize with one another, and enable us to experience them with human sensibility." The Tao of Architecture continues to be essential reading for understanding the intersection between architecture and philosophy. Now with a new foreword by David Wang, this book reveals the vitality of intangible, or negative, elements. In this classic work, Amos Ih Tiao Chang expands on that idea, developing the parallel with the aid of architectural drawings and Chinese paintings.
