The Seven Godly Keys Towards Perfection: A Biblical Eternal Vision to Guide Achieving Permanent Meanings in Architecture and Worldview Exploring a Symbolism to Be Achieved in Canada and the Whole Globe

by Luay K. Buni

Overview

The history of human civilizations is lacking perfection. One theory replaces another, and no theory has ever been permanent in the worldview of all civilizations. In philosophy, the phenomenology philosophers admitted that all the history of philosophy included a meaningless conflict between two main attitudesthe ideal and the natural standpoints. They added that the truth should be based on an interrelation between those two standpoints to start a third new standpoint, which is yet to have a lot of understanding to come! There is no agreement on any permanent timeless and placeless absolute truths, which are true keys toward perfection, neither in philosophy nor in any other field in worldview.

About the Author

Luay Buni is an architect designer and researcher in the symbolism in architecture and the theories of design. For more than twenty-two years, he kept his theoretical and practical efforts to express meanings in designing different kinds of buildings. He is now an independent architectural designer and researcher living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He established his firm of L. K. Buni for architectural and engineering designs and supervision in April 1992 (Baghdad, Iraq). It was a full-time practical and theoretical period in designing and supervising many different projects until his arrival in Canada in August 2014. In 1992, he got his master’s degree in architecture from the Department of Architecture, College of Engineering in the University of Baghdad. The thesis was A Study in the Theoretic and Symbolic Dimensions of the Ancient Mesopotamian Architecture Using Phenomenology as a Procedure. In 1986, he got his bachelor’s degree in architecture from the Department of Architecture, College of Engineering in the University of Baghdad. Timothy Radcliffe wrote the following about Luay’s new design typology after visiting Baghdad: “It was a sign of hope to see the workmen completing a building that might easily be destroyed within a week. The young architect explained that the building was intentionally a symbol of what the people were suffering. It looked as if it were cracked open, fractured and yet strong. He explained that it represented a people who are crucified and yet hope for healing” (The Tablet, Feb 28, 1998). In August 1997, Luay Buni delivered a lecture on “The Unbroken Broken in Architecture” during the JMJ in Paris, France. In June 1992, Luay Buni delivered a lecture on “Phenomenology and Architecture” at the Iraqi Architectural Society.
