Pressestimmen
"...one of the seminal architecture books of recent times." -- Professor Tom Wooley, Architects Journal "This gentle book offers a route out of the nightmare of so much callous modern construction. I was inspired." -- Colin Amery, The Financial Times "The 'bible' of many architects and those interested in architecture." -- Centre for Alternative Technology "A wonderful, ground-breaking book." -- Permaculture Magazine "...an inspiration to all those who care about the influence of the environment on Man's health and well-being." -- The Scientific and Medical Network "The book's photos and the discussion of interior space decor will appeal to those favoring a rustic and timeless aesthetic!" -- Environments "The book presents a critical analysis of the form and function of modern construction by shifting standard planning and design methods to those more socially and environmentally sustainable and (most importantly) people-centered." -- Gregory Rose, Geography & Environmental Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Kurzbeschreibung
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.

Chrisopher Day's "Places of the Soul" is an eye-opening examination
of why and how buildings impact our health, our productivity, our
moods, and even our spirits. Written both to architects and
non-architects, he speaks in plain English to bring many different
aspects of the built environment to our awareness.
of why and how buildings impact our health, our productivity, our
moods, and even our spirits. Written both to architects and
non-architects, he speaks in plain English to bring many different
aspects of the built environment to our awareness.
Books like this tend to be pedantic, possessing a narrow aesthetic
(i.e. the author's). However, Day, while admitting his biases, is more
focused on how to enrich the world we live in now, whether with the
softening textures of sensitive landscaping or the appropriate use of
harder angles when the mood these conjure is necessary.
If you are thinking about building or remodeling, and/or want to
understand more about your built surroundings, this book is certain
to challenge your viewpoint, and leave you with a few ideas of your
own about how you can relate consciously, sensitively, and
responsibly to your present environment.

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.

Format:Taschenbuch
PLACES OF THE SOUL is a very satisfying, powerful look at how the architectural environment makes an impact health, thought, and especially spirit. Mr. Day's writing is beautiful, drawing the reader through ideas of space, light, structure, environment, location and intention. Reading it was both inspiring and informative. An elegant book about an important subject.
