This book is named after the international seminar “Architectures of the Soul”, whose first editions took place in Lisbon at the ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon in 2017 and 2018. Their aim was to promote discussion around the architecture and landscapes associated with spiritual practices tied to solitude and seclusion, in their various forms – both within given spiritual and religious traditions, and in more secularized forms – and the ways in which such practices relate to, transform, or create a particular landscape.
