A traditional Iranian courtyard with ornate tiled architecture, a central reflective pool, and trees under a blue sky.

Sure, here is an example of Schultz’s “spirit of place” theory in the field of architecture: Architectural example: Traditional Iranian courtyard houses (such as the Borujerdi house in Kashan) In these houses, the central courtyard with its pond, trees, veranda, and natural light creates a space that goes beyond its physical function. In this space, people experience spiritual peace (mood), easily perceive paths and spaces (understanding), have an emotional and meaningful connection with the architecture of the house (dialogue), and live alongside family and guests (being with others). This combination of human experience with the environment is precisely what Schultz refers to as the spirit of place. See more
