Abstract

The Spiritual Community:Affecting Life Quality Issues through ArchitectureThis project attempts to address as completely as possible those aspects of life associated with qualitative experience. It is founded on the position that today's man-made environment often protects us from too many experiences which could otherwise enhance our lives. The direction taken involves the wonder, awe, or numinous associated with spirituality, the social and familial dynamics inherent in community, and the connection to environment and devotion to detail that hard work and craft allow. The result is the design for the Mississinewa Brewing Community which would be located along the Mississinewa River north of Muncie and east of Albany on State Road 67.
