Abstract

My paper focuses on a few aspects of sacred geometry, interpreted as a pathway towards a deeper understanding of human spirituality. As Plato argued in Timaeus, the formation of the universe is strictly connected to a few archetypal geometric forms. Through the process of symbolic interpretation, we can have a better comprehension of the relationship between the material, ephemeral world and these archetypes, between familiar space-time phenomena and the underlying sacred architecture. In this vein, semiotics is not only a useful tool, but also a key to uncover some of the hidden beauties of the universe.
