Keith Critchlow is a lecturer, author, and professor of architecture in England and a co-founder of the Temenos Academy.

Having been originally trained as a classical painter [Bamford, Christopher, "Homage to Pythagoras: Rediscovering Sacred Science", Lindisfarne Press, 1994, ISBN 0-940262-63-0. Cf. author profiles.] , he has authored many books on sacred geometry, including "Order in Space", "Islamic Pattern as a Cosmological Art", and "Time Stands Still".

Critchlow was formerly a professor of Islamic Art at the Royal College of Art in London and teaches at the The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment in London. He founded Visual Islamic and Traditional Arts (VITA), which later evolved into Prince's School of Traditional Arts. He is a Professor Emeritus at VITA and serves as Director for Research.

He is a leading expert in Sacred architecture and Sacred geometry and founded Kairos, a society which investigates, studies, and promotes traditional values of art and science. He served there as Director of Studies.

His architectural work includes the Krishnamurti Study Centre in England [ [http://www.krishnamurticentre.org.uk/ The Krishnamurti Centre in England] ] , the Lindisfarne Chapel in Crestone, Colorado in the United States with a special design for the vaulting of the dome [ [http://www.dharmasangha.org/location.html#Dome Creston Mountain Zen Center] - location and history of the dome Lindisfarne Chapel] , and The Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences in Puttaparthi, India. Isaac Tigrett, who had founded the Hard Rock Cafe enterprise, secured Critchlow’s aid to design a hospital in the Prasanthi Nilayam ashram in Puttuparthi. [Lerwill, John, [http://www.lerwill-life.org.uk/spirit/sai.htm "Who is Sai"] ] Critchlow's use of sacred geometry played a major role in these architectural designs and projects.

Dr. Critchlow is president of the Temenos Academy. [ [http://www.temenosacademy.org/temenos_key_individuals.html Temenos Academy] - key individuals: Patron: His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, President: Professor Keith Critchlow, Chairman: Sir Nicholas Pearson, Bt.]
