Places of the Soul by Christopher Day
This is a discussion on how modern architecture can lead to alienation and physical, psychological, social and health problems, as well as landscape desecration and ecological damage. The author argues that through careful planning and sensitivity, architecture has the potential to elevate the human spirit, nourish the soul and initiate healing.
