Temple Emanuel: Sacred Geometry


The architects who built Temple Emanuel at 16th and Pearl obviously knew a thing or two about Sacred Geometry. The entire facade is based on a large, hexagonal Star of David pattern. Here we see, above the entrance, ornamental scroll work that incorporates the star within variations on the Vescia Piscis. Note that the pattern is repeated six times, in keeping with the building's hexagonal theme.
