Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
For much of our history all architecture - not only religious monuments and buildings - created the physical context of the sacred. It can be seen in buildings as diverse as the Parthenon, Hopi initiation lodges, Stonehenge, the Temple at Luxor, the cathedrals, and the Palladian memory theatre, in which astronomical, mythical, geometric and structural patterns have been incorporated.
