Description

In a world driven by speed, surface, and distraction, we are starved for depth. As cities expand and buildings multiply, what’s often missing is the soul, spaces that heal, inspire, and connect us to something greater. Spiritual Architecture is a call to return to the essential.Led by visionary architect Moshe Katz, this course invites you to reimagine architecture not as a container of life but as a living being that breathes, remembers, and reveals. You’ll learn to see space as sacred, materials as carriers of memory, and light as more than illumination but as meaning.Through a blend of philosophy, design exploration, and visual poetics, Katz guides you to work not only with function and form but with stillness, intuition, ritual, and the unseen. From Japanese shrines and silent thresholds to the curves of a dome or the emptiness of a void, you’ll explore how architecture can elevate the everyday experience into a spiritual act.This is not just a course in design. It’s a transformation of how we think, feel, and build. Whether you’re an architect, artist, student, or seeker, this course gives you tools to create with more presence, more poetry, and purpose.Now, more than ever, the world needs spaces that remind us of who we are and what we belong to. This course is a starting point for the new approach to architecture that will make you a visionary and transform your projects into something completely new.
