How architecture acts as a transition in sacred spaces? Share your thoughts in the comments. Spirituality and sanctitude are some of the supreme qualities that can be expressed through architecture. A good example of it is the Roofless Church by Philip Johnson in #NewHarmony #Indiana | 1960. The open air cathedral invites all faiths to worship under the only roof big enough to fit them all: the sky. There is one roof-like structure inside the compound, which is a cover for the statue `The descent of the Holy Spirit` by Jacques Lipchitz.

“The reappearance of the crescent moon after the new moon; the return of the sun after a total eclipse; the rising of the sun in the morning after its troublesome absence at night were noted by people all over the world; these phenomena spoke to our ancestors of the possibility of surviving death. Up there in the skies was also a metaphor of immortality.” — Carl Sagan (The charming, historic little town of New Harmony, Indiana, was the ideal place to wander and watch the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. On my friend’s suggestion, we decided to take in the rare experience from the lawn of the town’s Roofless Church. The open-air cathedral welcomes all faiths to worship under the world’s biggest roof… the sky. The site, which was designed by architect Philip Johnson, features landscaped grounds surrounded by a high brick wall. Inside are a tall, domed, cedar-shingled canopy and gardens with fountains, sculptures and golden rain trees. The eclipse turned out to be everything we hoped for. The 4-minute-long period of totality wowed with a spectacular corona and a nearby star. The darkness that crept over us in the height of day felt surreal. Here are a few photos.) #ChuckWhiting #ChucksDiary #Eclipse #TotalEclipse #TotalSolarEclipse #CarlSagan #RooflessChurch #OpenAirCathedral #PhilipJohnson #NewHarmony #Indiana #Art #Arts #MusicCityArts 4-10-24

Many claim New Harmony is a utopia. Johann Georg Rapp and his Harmonie Society founded Harmonie on the Wabash in 1814. The Harmonists called the town their “neu Harmonie” having left their initial American home in Harmonie Pennsylvania. Its members were Separatists from the German Lutheran Church. This millennial society, waiting for Christ to come, build 180 buildings in the 10 years they were here and many are still standing today. They produced quality products including textiles, rope, barrels, tin ware, leather goods, candles, bricks and much more using the latest machinery and technology available. Because beverages were in demand in neighboring and river towns, wine, whiskey and beer were produced in large quantities. The daily production of whiskey was about 32 gallons and 500 gallons of beer were brewed every other day. The Harmonists applied their shared work ethic to achieve uncommon economic success, but in 1824 moved back to Pennsylvania and built their third town called Economy.
Robert Owen, a Welsh-born industrialist and social reformer, and William Maclure, an educator and the Father of American Geology, purchased the town from Father Rapp in 1825 and the second utopia was to be a new moral world based on equal education and equal social status. They brought the “Boatload of Knowledge” to New Harmony, navigating here with many scientists and educators including Entomologist and Conchologist Thomas Say. Years after Say’s death, his firefly became Indiana’s official state insect on March 23, 2018. Although their utopian vision eventually dissolved, the creative efforts of the Owen/Maclure period are still evident today.
The third utopia can be attributed to Jane Blaffer Owen (1915-2010). During her tine in New Harmony she brought modern architecture to the town, such as the Roofless Church, the Atheneum and many public art pieces. She created serenity with Tillich Park, Church Park and the Cathedral Labyrinth and has left behind a legacy all her own.
Utopia hasnt’ ceased to exist even today in this captivating little Southern Indiana town. New Harmony is full of life, offering all sorts of activities from one of a kind eateries, specialty shops, antiques, festivals, art, nature and history. Visit New Harmony and you’ll find yourself coming back to experience utopia for many years to come.
