Sacred Geometry, Sound Patterns

[Heinrich]

One of the most facinating things I have ever heard.

Sacred Geometry has unfortunately been hijacked by alot of Occultists. Regardless the mathematical correspondences and precision of Creation "declares the glory of God." Sacred Geometry and frequency are fascinating topics of study.

Wonderful.

This might explain why some buildings can induce gloom and depression, or anxiety and agitation, while others are peaceful and calming?  At least for me.  This might also help explain the levels of distress such buildings can cause, especially when filled with similarly distracted crowds.

Modernist architecture deliberately destroyed boundaries in the name of creating 'free flowing space - and in so doing destroyed geometry, sacred or otherwise.  Modernist churches do the same.

Anyone would think this was all part of a pattern, the aim being to tear apart all places conducive to recollection and fill every space with noise and confusion.

Excellent points. Geometry and structure are objective and created by God. The harmony of the Universe right down to the buildings we build based on these patterns tend to the greater unity and harmony of creation and even our own lives and experiences. Abstract "art" and disorder affect not only the visible beauty of a space but even cause or aggravate disorder within ourselves.

I've noticed nobody ever has a breathless or "wow" moment when looking at modern church architecture. There is a deep reason for that.

Certain types of people took over schools architecture. You only get one guess what they have in common.

Walter Adolph Georg Gropius (18 May 1883 – 5 July 1969) was a German-American architect and founder of the Bauhaus School, who, along with Alvar Aalto, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modernist architecture. He is a founder of Bauhaus in Weimar (1919). Gropius was also a leading architect of the International Style.

All about the Bauhaus.

The Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known as the Bauhaus (German for 'building house'), was a German art school operational from 1919 to 1933 that combined crafts and the fine arts. The school became famous for its approach to design, which attempted to unify the principles of mass production with individual artistic vision and strove to combine aesthetics with everyday function.

The Bauhaus was founded by architect Walter Gropius in Weimar. It was grounded in the idea of creating a Gesamtkunstwerk ("comprehensive artwork") in which all the arts would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style later became one of the most influential currents in modern design, modernist architecture and art, design, and architectural education. The Bauhaus movement had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography. Staff at the Bauhaus included prominent artists such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and László Moholy-Nagy at various points.

Exactly. But rather than a futurist paradise, it led to nihilism. The first generation of workers who were relocated to such newly built communities post WW I filled their sterile boxy houses with bric-a-brac in an attempt to humanize these inhumane dwellings. (Tom Wolfe mocked these modernist architects in his small book, From Bauhaus to Our House.) Subsequent generations with no firsthand memory of the real thing became the poor creatures who currently inhabit the projects, a.k.a. council flats, everywhere that bureaucrats chose to construct this sort of soul-destroying warehousing.

The soul destroying 'churches' which everyone hates also took their inspiration from the Modernist style of architecture.  Dissolving the boundaries, tearing everything apart, getting rid of all traditional images and turning churches into 'worship spaces' was the aim of the Modernists of the Liturgical Movement who were experimenting with the new forms as early as the 1920s.

Funnily enough, over 25 years ago when I became Catholic, I knew immediately that something terrible had happened just by looking at the new churches, sorry, I mean 'worship spaces'.  Why else choose the Modernist style of architecture and art?
