Summary:

With camera in hand, Pearson has traveled the globe, finding glimmers of hope in a rich array of both ancient and modern architecture. His journey spans the history of architecture, leading us back in time to some of the earliest structures fashioned by humanity; to enduring traditional dwellings such as yurts and tipis; and, finally, to contemporary buildings that display a new sensibility to nature. His remarkable photographs reveal how we can integrate architecture into both our lives and our landscapes by combining the innate wisdom of ecology with a concern for health and spiritual awareness.
