Description
Nature by Design: The Practice of Biophilic DesignBiophilia is the theory that people possess an inherent affinity for nature, which developed during the long course of human evolution. In recent years, studies have revealed that this inclination continues to be a vital component to human health and wellbeing. Given the pace and scale of construction today with its adversarial, dominative relationship with nature, the integration of nature with the built environment is one of the greatest challenges
Biophilia is the theory that people possess an inherent affinity for nature, which developed during the long course of human evolution. In recent years, studies have revealed that this inclination continues to be a vital component to human health and wellbeing. Given the pace and scale of construction today with its adversarial, dominative relationship with nature, the integration of nature with the built environment is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In this sweeping examination, Stephen Kellert describes the basic principles, practices, and options for successfully implementing biophilic design. He shows us what is--and isn't--good biophilic design using examples of workplaces, healthcare facilities, schools, commercial centers, religious structures, and hospitality settings. This book will to appeal to architects, designers, engineers, scholars of human evolutionary biology, and--with more than one hundred striking images of designs--anyone interested in nature-inspired spaces.Binding Type: Hardcover

What did I just read
Format: Kindle
I’m not sure how to articulate my feelings about this book. It took me a bit to get into it, the story was interesting from the beginning but felt very slow paced to me. That changed about half way in. I don’t know what I was expecting, but that was not it! I did end up enjoying this. It was well written, funny, and shocking.

Let's go!
Format: Hardcover
This book is a classic! We purchased for our graduating senior and had all of her former teachers and coaches sign it with a special message on the pages. Great idea for a wedding or baby shower too. The quality is great! Love Dr. Seuss!

A Great Graduation Gift
Format: Hardcover
This was one of my favorite books when I was a child. I've been purchasing this as a graduation gift for years. I gave it to both my daughters when they graduated high school and was happy to read that very copy we gifted our daughter to my granddaughter. The book has also helped me in some difficult times of my own life. Dr. Seuss is timeless and this makes a great gift.

I recommend using this book. Read review.
Format: Hardcover
I recommend this book. Not only because it's a Dr. Sue's book, but because at the end of the school year. I ask my son's teacher to sign it. It's a sweet memory to have and it will be a sweet memory to look at once they graduate Elementary. It's a must. The price is great. Quality... Everything about it is great. Most of all.... Reading the their teacher's have to say about them. Is so sweet!
