Sacred buildings have long played a central role in shaping the urban and social fabric of cities. However, in an increasingly secular and multi-religious society, their function and significance have evolved.
This session coordinated by Rolando Volzone (DINÂMIA’CET-Iscte | ISCTE-IUL) and Francesco Novelli (DAD | Politecnico di Torino) in the frame of the 12th AISU Congress aims to critically analyse the transformation of religious spaces, focusing on:
Historical and political processes that influenced their transformation;
Their impact on urban landscapes and social dynamics;
The intersection of past and present, including contemporary challenges.
We invite contributions from historians, urban planners, architects, sociologists, and theologians to foster an interdisciplinary discussion.
Submit your abstract and be part of this important conversation, until the 3rd of May! For submission guidelines and deadlines, please visit
