5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful presentation and enlightening concept., May 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Human Spaces: Life-Enhancing Designs for Healing, Working, and Living (Hardcover)
Barbara Crisp eloquently represents through her words and the beautiful photographs the importance of the spaces we live in. I am not in the design profession, however, found this a wonderful book for anyone interested in the connection of our living, working and healing environments. A beautiful coffee table book.
