Product Description

Review

'One of the seminal architecture books of recent times' ARCHITECT'S JOURNAL 'This book offers a route out of the nightmare of so much callous modern construction. I was inspired' Colin Amery, FINANCIAL TIMES 'May his words be heard far and wide' LESLIE KENTON


Product Description

This is a discussion on how modern architecture can lead to alienation and physical, psychological, social and health problems, as well as landscape desecration and ecological damage. The author argues that through careful planning and sensitivity, architecture has the potential to elevate the human spirit, nourish the soul and initiate healing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST-READ!, 3 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This is the first book about architecture I've read that makes HUMAN sense. If you think that between "perfect" material performance that makes you tired and sick and slightly less perfect performance that makes you feel centred and happy the choice should be obvious... If you feel that modern buildings are dead and then feel enchanted and energised in much less sophisticated, traditional buildings, build with love and respect for their surroundings... buy this book: it will confirm all that most of us know is true intuitively. If you are an architect or builder PLEASE buy and study this book: it will make a lot of positive difference in your work (and the lives of your clients!).
