Christopher Day Spirit and Place
Christopher Day Spirit and Place, - Architectural Press; 1St Edition edition (February 6, 2002), 253 pages

'Christopher Day's commitment to the creation of a sustainable environment is well known and, in many respects, beyond criticism.'
Architect's Joual

'I have never read a book about architecture that so comfortably combines an intensely pragmatic approach with an innately spiritual understanding.'
Resurgence Magazine

'This book is unusual in its genuinely spiritual approach to creating buildings.the book is well presented and easy to read. Overall it provides a good introduction to the principles of ecological design within the wider context of social and environmental sustainability.'
EcoTech Magazine

'It is a book that presents ideas not only for a healthy planet but a healthy spirit - ultimately two conditions that are irrevocably linked. Day addresses the costs of building, from environmental pollution to social consequences such as crime and ill health.'
Natural Home Magazine

'Christopher Day is a practicing architect, a teacher and a philosopher and I believe he knew that his book would be recommended to be used in the context of the design studio in Schools of Architecture'
Centre for Education in the Built Environment

Built environment surrounds us for 90% of our lives but only now are we realising its influence on the environment, our health, and how we think, feel and behave both individually and socially.

Spirit & Place shows how to work towards a sustainable environment through socially inclusive processes of placemaking, and how to create places that are nourishing psychologically and physically, to soul and spirit as well as body.


This book's unique arguments identify important, but often unrecognised, principles and illustrate their applicability in a wide range of situations, price-ranges and climates. It shows how to reconcile the apparently incompatible demands of environmental, economic and social sustainability; how to moderate climate to make places of delight, and realign social pressures so places both support society and maximise economic viability. Thought provoking and easy to understand, Christopher Day uses everyday examples to relate his theories to practice and our experience.

* Lea from Day's 30 years experience of the ecological debate
* Provides important technical information regarding sustainability
* Comprehensively outlines the issues in an easy to understand and inspiring style
