To do so, this paper will discuss the mediating roles traditionally performed by sacred architecture and, in particular, its traditional role as an in-between place believed by its creators to establish connections to the understandings they sought or the gods they worshipped. Enduring themes of sacred places will be presented in the context of their communicative capacity and ritual uses, as a means to offer interpretations appropriate to today. The case study of the recently completed Oakland (CA) Cathedral will serve to illustrate contemporary positions and iterations. The conclusion suggests that the sacred place was (and still is), an intermediate zone created in the belief that it had the ability to engage, elucidate and transform, and that a re-introduction and repositioning of the mediating roles performed by the built environment can inform the creation of engaging and meaningful places today.}, number={1}, journal={European Review}, publisher={Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, author={Barrie, Thomas}, year={2012}, month={Jan}, pages={79–94} } @article{barrie_bermudez_2008, title={Immateriality in architecture introduction}, volume={62}, DOI={10.1111/j.1531-314x.2008.00233.x}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Architectural Education}, author={Barrie, T. and Bermudez, J.}, year={2008}, pages={4–5} } @misc{barrie_2007, title={Built upon love: Architectural longing after ethics and aesthetics}, volume={60}, DOI={10.1111/j.1531-314x.2007.00097.x}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Architectural Education}, author={Barrie, T.}, year={2007}, pages={51–52} }
