ArchitectureWeek Description
Despite great strides in recent years, sustainable design still falls short of integrating nature into the built environment. The author's paradigm of "restorative environmental design" proposes a new architectural model of sustainability. He explains how architects and designers can use simple methods to address our innate need for contact with nature through natural lighting, ventilation, and materials, as well as through the use of metaphor, perspective, enticement, and symbols.
