I Luoghi della Religiosità e dei Riti In una Visione Sostenibile

The sacred landscape is the center of existence, regardless of its location and materiality. The concept of “sacred landscape” constitutes, in fact, an indeinite place, without borders but where tangible and threedimensional presences are contained that build the space that we live in. It is precisely the three-dimensional perception that characterizes the architecture to which we have to approach the fourth dimension, that is, the temporal dimension, and therefore the presence of “time” that helps us to analyze the evolution and transformation of materiality. This contribution aims to develop a relection on the concept of place and places of religiosity and rites, understood as a material and intangible space at the same time and where man meets his God, himself and the community regardless of where he has located this place and how it was made. Particular attention will be given to the meaning of the sacred value and how this concept is constantly regenerated in the daily life of every man.
