Sacred Geometry: Symbolism and Purpose in Religious Structures

Sacred Geometry: Symbolism and Purpose in Religious Structures by Pennick, Nigel. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781898307150.

Geometry underlies the structure of all things-from galaxies to molecules. Despite our separation from the natural world, human beings are still bound by the laws of the universe. In this absorbing history, the first of its kind, the applications of sacred geometry are examined and the full extent of its practise is revealed. Sacred Geometry traces the rise and fall of this transcendent art from megalithic stone circles to Art Nouveau and reveals how buildings that conform to its timeless principles mirror the geometry of the cosmos. 190 pages with many illustrations and drawings.
