The House Of Spiritual: In-Depth : The House of Spiritual Retreat by Emilio Ambasz
Emilio Ambasz originally designed the House of Spiritual Retreat in 1979 for an imaginary site near Cordoba, Spain.
It was constructed only last year, on a hilly, arid landscape outside of Seville.
Featuring two white walls situated at a ninety-degree angle and a long stairway descending into a sunken patio, the house reformulates the vernacular Andalusian courtyard house into a surrealistic reverie, a mythic, phantasmagorical dwelling.
The seeking of God or spiritual transcendence is hardly something that we could expect pupils to engage in on their own (or even necessarily in company) and those who do engage in this task generally do so from an exalted level of spiritual awareness, within a sophisticated spiritual frame of reference and commitment. Thus the exploration of the spiritual might be seen to necessarily involve consideration of the social dimension. Spirituality says something about human relationships and it is unlikely that we will identify the spiritual outside the context of moral development.
