Places of the Soul: Architecture and Environmental Design as a Healing Art

Places of the Soul: Architecture and Environmental Design as a Healing Art

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.
