Review
‘One of the seminal architecture books of recent times’
ARCHITECT’S JOURNAL
‘This book offers a route out of the nightmare of so much callous modern construction. I was inspired’
Colin Amery, FINANCIAL TIMES
‘May his words be heard far and wide’
LESLIE KENTON
From the Back Cover
Our surroundings affect us physically and spiritually: they can contribute to stress and general malaise or balance and strengthen us. Although personal preferences differ widely, there is a level of aesthetic response that we all share. If we look objectively at this, we can understand how different qualities of environment can either nurture or poison us – body and soul.
At a time when the environment is increasingly under the spotlight, 'Places of the Soul' examines how we can put the the human factor back into the building equation. Challenging conventional architectural practice, Christopher Day demonstrates how building design can start with people and place and how buildings can develop organically from these foundations.
“Christopher Day’s refreshingly human approach brings glimpses of just how great the healing and life-enhancing potential of our 'physical' environment can be. May his words be heard far and wide.”
LESLIE KENTON
“Architects, builders, planners and developers should read this book before they go any further. Christopher Day brings wisdom to architecture and design.”
SATISH KUMAR,Editor, 'Resurgence'
