A new way of understanding our environment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nature and the Idea of a Man-Made World: An Investigation into the Evolutionary Roots of Form and Order in the Built Environment (Paperback)
Nature and the Idea of a Man Made World describes the origins of a built environment and its relatonship with nature. Norman Crowe explains how our early ancestors used nature as a precedent in creating the earliest forms of architecture. As technology evolved over the centuries, architecture and urban planning lost the relationship with nature that allowed it to exist. Crowe gives concise examples of how people experience their environment and the buildings around them that that offers valuable lessons to an everyday reader or a professional architect. The text itself is not overburdened with technical terms, and the many illustrations help prove crucial points. The final product is an easy reading, informative, and enjoyable book explaining our place in the world.
