Lezing 'Religious Foundations - Recent Research on the Built Environment in South Asia'

This series will consist of six lectures delving into the intricate relationship between religion and the built environment in South Asia. Throughout the lectures, scholars from different disciplines will examine how diverse groups have – by their simultaneous or consecutive presence - influenced architecture, spatial organisation, and the urban landscape.

As such, Religious Foundations aims to foster a nuanced understanding of how religion, as a fundamental aspect of society, has shaped and reshaped the built environment, forging an enduring bond between faith and architecture from antiquity to the present.
