Places of the Soul


Product Description
Revised to incorporate the changes in opinions and attitudes since its first publication, the second edition of 'Places of the Soul' has brought Christopher Day's classic text into the 21st century.This new edition of the seminal text reminds us that true sustainable design does not simply mean energy efficient building. Sustainable buildings must provide for the 'soul'. For Christopher Day architecture is not just about a building's appearance, but how the building is experienced. 'Places of the Soul' presents buildings as environment, intrinsic to their surroundings, and offers design principles that will open the eyes of the architecture student and professional alike, presenting ideas quite different to the orthodoxy of modern architectural education.
Christopher Day's experience as an architect, self-builder, professor and sculptor have all added to the development of his ideas that encompass issues of economic and social sustainability, commercial pressures and consensus design. This book presents these ideas and outlines universal principles that will be of interest and value to architects, builders, planners and developers alike.
Places of the Soul Review
Mr.Day's philosophies about architecture is inspiring. You go through each day being influenced by your surroundings, but never realizing how or why you sometimes feel as you do (good or bad). A good heathly location with a structure that evolves from the ground up, in harmony with it's surroundings, can only bring harmony and balance to your inner being. I can't imagine not being aware of these things before, but now that I have read Mr. Day's book I will never look at architecture design in the same way. The overall influence of the book is very powerful, as a matter of fact so powerful we have contact Mr. Day to design our new house in the Sonoran Desert.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Places of the Soul" are high quality item.
