Christopher Day, Design consultant, architect and sculptor. Former visiting professor to Queens College, Belfast. He has also lectured or taught at numerous Universities in the US.
Description
Built environment surrounds us for 90% of our lives but only now are we realising its influence on the environment, our health, and how
we think, feel and behave both individually and socially.
Spirit & Place shows how to work towards a sustainable environment through
socially inclusive processes of placemaking, and how to create places that are nourishing psychologically and physically, to soul and
spirit as well as body.
This book's unique arguments identify important, but often unrecognised, principles and illustrate their applicability
in a wide range of situations, price-ranges and climates. It shows how to reconcile the apparently incompatible demands of environmental,
economic and social sustainability; how to moderate climate to make places of delight, and realign social pressures so places both support
society and maximise economic viability. Thought provoking and easy to understand, Christopher Day uses everyday examples to relate
his theories to practice and our experience.
Audience
From students and professionals in architecture and the design professions to those interested in ecological issues and psychology.
