Living Space

Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Discussing the idea with reference to accounts of awakening in esoteric literature, as well as contemporary psychological methods, Living Space: Openness and Freedom through Spatial Awareness proposes that a common denominator in both physical and emotional healing is the creation of more perceptual and conscious space and that an easier and more spacious awareness can be achieved by relatively simple changes to the way we pay attention. These ideas have implications for the way we balance body, mind and spirit.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Living Space
Author: Gail Satler
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780875805863
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
This sociological analysis of Wright's architecture examines the interaction between people and the spaces they create. Satler shows how Wright explored a new architectural dimension, the space in which we live. Focusing on the Larkin Building (1904) and Unity Temple (1907), works that Wright considered important but that have received little attention, Satler delineates the social nature of space. She provides an analytic framework through which to understand Wright's buildings and his writings, revealing how the history of such works and cultural landscapes offer a basis for making social, political, and spatial choices about the future. Wright's specific architectural works provide a framework for constructing social histories of places and people because his designs represent a natural way to build and to live within a larger social landscape. This original study will appeal to sociologists, architects, urban and architectural historians, urban planners and anthropologists, and those interested in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.

The majority of home-owners, especially those with young families, find that living space in their properties is at a premium. For many, converting a garage that has been used as little more than a disorganized storage room into an additional living area offers great opportunities. The extra room could be in the form of a granny annex, an extra bedroom, a dining room, an extended kitchen, a children's play room, or a games room.
