OPRAH, National Public Radio and numerous other media have featured the work of award-winning architect Anthony Lawlor. He is the author of THE TEMPLE IN THE HOUSE and A HOME FOR THE SOUL. His film, THE LIVING TEMPLE, takes audiences on a thrilling adventure through the world’s great sacred places.

A licensed architect with Master of Architecture degree from the University of California, Berkeley, Lawlor has spent more than 25 years designing inspiring buildings. He lives in Marin County, California, consults with clients nationwide, and lectures internationally on the sacred dimensions of art and architecture.
 
"Lawlor's book, THE TEMPLE IN THE HOUSE, is a living temple in which the soul of architecture and the architecture of the soul are brilliantly invoked. The reader is magically led through patterns and proportions that transform the ordinary house into a charged place of spirit."
Jean Houston, Ph.D., author of A Mythic Life
 
"THE TEMPLE IN THE HOUSE by Anthony Lawlor is a rare, important and beautiful book. It has style, substance, art, depth and usefulness. We all need to be educated in finding a home that pleases the soul. This is the best guide I’ve seen. I treasure it."
Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul
 

“Anthony Lawlor goes looking for the quality that compelled us to go to architecture school in the first place–the elusive yet insistent notion that sacredness can dwell in all places. He found it, and, better yet, he shares it with us.”
AIA Architect
 


"Making THE LIVING TEMPLE showed me that sacred places are as essential to human life as eating and sleeping. Each day, billions of people enter these setting of profound peace and inspiration. Moving from culture to culture, I saw sacred architecture and art depicting those who came before us passing through trials and breakthroughs similar to our own. Beyond surface differences in style, these structures describe a shared human condition: getting basic necessities while trying to understand who we are, why we are here and where we are going. For thousands of years, geography and belief separated the sacred places of different countries. Now, the Internet, satellite television and international travel are drawing them into a LIVING TEMPLE of insight and inspiration.”
Anthony Lawlor, Filmmaker
