Places of the Soul: Architecture and Environmental Design as a Healing Art
ISBN: 9780415702430 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For Christopher Day, architecture isn t just about the appearance of buildings but how they re experienced as places to "be" in. Occupants experience can differ radically from designers intentions as their concerns and thinking differ. Additionally, multi-sensory ambience, spatial sequential experience and embodied spirit resonate in the human soul. Sustainable design means much more than energy-efficiency: if sustainable buildings don t also nourish the soul, occupant-building interaction will lack care and eco-technologies won t be used efficiently. This major revision of his classic... For Christopher Day, architecture isn t just about the appearance of buildings but how they re experienced as places to "be" in. Occupants experien... |

ISBN: 9781477638941 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today, we face a sustainability problem that threatens cultural and ecological diversity.

The erosion of cultural diversity is due to the development of digital-communication technology which has intensified the globalization of ideas and its homogenizing effect on local culture. While the solution to these problems supersedes the role of architecture, this work proposes "visibly... Today, we face a sustainability problem that threatens cultural and ecological diversity.
