........Sacred Geometry defines the nature of space and time. It is a blueprint of Creation. It contains within it principles which can enliven and invigorate architecture and the design process, connecting directly with a universal creative origin. Throughout nature, archetypal patterns and ratios occur from our galaxy down to sub-atomic particles. When we understand and design with these same patterns and ratios, the results may be breathtaking in their beauty. Albert Einstein said “The golden proportion is a scale of proportions which makes the bad difficult (to produce) and the good easy (to achieve).”Sacred Geometry is  a language which may open and centre the mind. Spaces created with this language are inherently stable, energised and energising, bringing about a feeling of coherence and connection to source and to nature, thereby being deeply ecological.  Sacred Geometry imbues a building or place with an intangible and special quality; one need not even know it has been used to feel this quality.  Some of the most renowned modern and ancient architects used these principles to ingratiate their buildings with a quality that sets them apart in history.......................................................................................................                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Application of workshop content:                                                                                                                     

.This workshop brings together theoretic information along with how to actually apply it to your work now.

You will leave with a tool box of inspiring ideas and concepts to transform your own designs and design process. Sacred Geometry can imbue a building or place with an intangible and special quality; one need not even know it has been used to feel this quality.  Some of the most renowned modern and ancient architects used these principle to ingratiate their buildings with a quality that sets them apart in history. We will look at how  past and contemporary architect have directly applied these principles to buildings.  We will also explore sacred measure, were certain human body measurements, such as the famed Cubit, are used within the building to bring a harmonic or vibrational resonance with human beings. Sacred geometry can be applied to the early stages of design process or right through to finishing details; it may be used in site analysis and planning, form and massing, floor plans, elevations through to windows, doors and openings and even joinery.                                                                                                                                                                                                          Topics covered will include:
