Synopsis
With camera in hand, Pearson has traveled the globe, finding glimmers of hope in a rich array of both ancient and modern architecture. His journey spans the history of architecture, leading us back in time to some of the earliest structures fashioned by humanity; to enduring traditional dwellings such as yurts and tipis; and, finally, to contemporary buildings that display a new sensibility to nature. His remarkable photographs reveal how we can integrate architecture into both our lives and our landscapes by combining the innate wisdom of ecology with a concern for health and spiritual awareness.

Since World War II, the urban and industrial landscapes have been increasingly dominated by brutalistic, corporate architecture. Everyone is familiar with this in shopping malls, city centres, business parks and mass-housing projects - the infamous filing cabinets for people. This has led many to the view that architects are losing the ability to design buildings that are sympathetic either to people or to the natural environment. design has encouraged him to look for an alternative way - a quest for natural architecture. The journey was long and wide-ranging, and led him first to his book The Natural House Book. camera always to hand, he travels the world, finding glimmers of hope which reflect the three profound themes he defines in natural architecture - ecology, health and spiritual awareness. the buildings he found are integrated with lives and landscapes. He also travels in time: back to some of the earliest structures fashioned by humanity; through traditional dwellings, yurts and tipis, which have had a continuity of use over thousands of years; to some of the most recent buildings that display a new awakening for modern natural architecture. how all people can live, in buildings harmonized with the land, some day in the future.
