Daniela Bertol

Italian born Daniela Bertol —artist, author, architectural visionary and Yoga teacher— has worked for almost two decades on projects integrating science, art and architecture. Her site-specific environment and art installations have been exhibited in the United States and Italy. She has published numerous articles in art and science journals and lectured at several congresses and symposia worldwide and is the author of four books on geometry, architecture and digital space: "Visualizing with CAD" (Springer-Verlag, 1994) "Designing Digital Space" (John Wiley & Sons, 1997, "Form Geometry Structure | from Nature to Design" (Bentley Institute Press, 2011), "SPACETECTURE" (Axes Mundi Press, 2011).

Yoga practitioner for over twenty years, she has traveled extensively in India, Mexico, Australia, Europe and North Africa, visiting and photographing many of the places portrayed in "Earth & Sky", the book she is currently writing.

Her design vision integrates principles of Eastern philosophies and practices with contemporary architectural theories and research, as expressed in her most recent project "Sun Farm", a series of places devoted to sustainable design where the shaping of the landscape is based on solar and stellar alignments.
