Description

Beauty and emotion are essential to our built environment, yet they're often lacking in the structures we inhabit. This book explores why this is the case and how to create spaces that inspire and connect us to the world around us.

The visual patterns in nature that bring us satisfaction are being erased from our surroundings, replaced by monolithic and featureless buildings. This shift has profound effects on our well-being and sense of life. By understanding the importance of emotion in architecture, we can create spaces that not only function but also inspire and move us.

By incorporating the natural world into our built environment, we can tap into the transcendent and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. This book argues that emotion in architecture is crucial for our human experience, and that it's time to rethink the way we design and build our surroundings.
