Faith in Design Conference

Faith in Design text

For centuries, the goal of design and Architecture was to create physical and sacred locations for the faithful. Now, religious or “faithful” designers are outwardly and publicly few and far between. Faith in Design will gather graduate students and practitioners together to discuss how religion and design can coexist. How can we bridge the divide between our (secular) design lives and our religious lives?
