Reviews
'This book is quite simply about how to make the world a better place, through better buildings...It tells us how we can all step beyond
the ego to the eco, from the sustaining to the sustainable, to the healthy, healing, life-enhancing buildings that nourish the spirit
and repair the community. Using the elements of light, water, earth, warmth and air Christopher leads us gently through ways of shaping
space, light and heat, and our own human endeavour, to create beautiful buildings.'
Taken from the Foreword by Sue Roaf
'Christopher
Day's commitment to the creation of a sustainable environment is well known and, in many respects, beyond criticism.'
Architect's Journal
'I have never read a book about architecture that so comfortably combines an intensely pragmatic approach with an innately spiritual
understanding.'
Resurgence Magazine
'It is a book that presents ideas not only for a healthy planet but a healthy spirit - ultimately
two conditions that are irrevocably linked. Day addresses the costs of building, from environmental pollution to social consequences
such as crime and ill health.'
Natural Home Magazine
'Christopher Day is a practicing architect, a teacher and a philosopher and I
believe he knew that his book would be recommended to be used in the context of the design studio in Schools of Architecture'
