"Why Architecture Matters"

Catholic new urbanist and MOJ-friend Philip Bess is blogging over at "Right Reason" on the subject, "Why Architecture Matters."  Click here and here.  The posts are thorough and thoughtful, and too rich to blurb.  Nutshell:  Joel Kotkin says that cities should be "sacred, safe, and busy."  But what does it mean, really, for a city (today) to be "sacred"?  (And, we lawyers might ask, what work does law do in supporting, or undermining, the "sacred"?)
