| Abstract
|
:
|
"Conventional architecture builds a wall between us and nature. And that fractured relationship makes for not only mediocre design, but a lower quality of life, according to Yale, professor Stephen R. Kellert. In Building for Life, Kellert offers simple yet creative solutions that bring green architecture to a personal level. Inspired by the work of architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Eero Saarinen, and Norman Foster, Kellert proposes a new architectural model to reinvigorate our daily lives. His ideas are a bridge back to the natural world."--Jacket.
