Synopsis
Illustrated with more than 175 photos and renderings, this book shows how
the spaces we inhabit, from our public streets to our homes, can transform
us. An award-winning architect identifies the fundamental design forms that
have evoked a spiritual response throughout time, and relates these patterns
to the elemental patterns of human awareness. Each chapter offers exercises
and practical suggestions.

A reader , April 17, 1997
Lawlor puts into words the transcendence that I have experienced in involving
myself in the construction of a dwelling, but have been unable to adequately
express in words to others. His intertwining Eastern, American Indian and
Western philosophical expressions into the architectural expression of our
inner experiences makes a connection for me that furthers my understanding
of my experiences in defining space, through conception, design and construction.
