Description

Why does Durham Cathedral remain one of Britain's best-loved buildings? This book from the Routledge Research in Architecture series examines how an iconic sacred space maintains its meaning and relevance for modern, secular visitors. As society moves into a post-Christian era, the question of how to preserve historic churches becomes more urgent. Through a study of Durham Cathedral, this work explores the source of the appeal found in historic religious sites today. The author combines personal accounts of the cathedral with direct feedback from visitors to understand the connection between people and these monumental structures. It provides a thoughtful look at the preservation of religious architecture in a changing cultural landscape.
