Sacred geometry reflects a fundamental cosmic order, revealing patterns and proportions that govern the universe. Similar geometric principles are expressed in diverse traditions, suggesting a universal language of form that transcends cultural boundaries. In this talk, we will look at early Christian, Islamic, and Eastern traditions of sacred geometry in art and architecture. We will explore how these traditions use geometric design to express spiritual ideals, create spaces for contemplation, and mirror the harmony of the cosmos. From the vesica piscis and rose windows of medieval cathedrals, to the intricate star patterns of Islamic mosques, and the mandalas and temple layouts of Hindu and Buddhist cosmology—each tradition uses geometry as a bridge between the material and the mystical, revealing a universal language of divine order.
