One of the challenges with any project is understanding the commonly used terms. An architecture degree takes at least five years to earn, and part of that training is learning the language.
A regular feature of this blog will be some installments about architectural terms and principles, especially those related to sacred architecture. This category is for those of us who can’t tell retablos from reredos, haven’t distinguished between rustication and ashlar, and don’t know the difference between a frieze and a finial.
It probably goes without saying that Feng Shui is not a principle of Sacred Catholic Architecture.
