Mystery
of Measure & Spirit of Place:
The Sixth John Michell Symposium
Saturday
27 June, 10am-5pm
This symposium celebrates the life and legacy of John Michell (1933-2009),
an English artist and author who inspired many to explore the mysteries
of landscape, symbolic geometry, and measure. His books
The View
Over Atlantis
and City of Revelation were pivotal in the
countercultural stream of the 1970s and beyond. Michell’s revival
of the research of Alfred Watkins, who discovered ‘leys’ in
the 1920s, motivated many to go out in search of alignments. Guided
by the works of Plato and Charles Fort, he authored titles on unexplained
phenomena, megalithomania, and ancient metrology. Qualified as a land
surveyor and as a Russian interpreter, Michell dedicated his final book
How the World is Made to Keith Critchlow, whom he called ‘our
modern Pythagoras’.
