Summary:

"Values of 'space' are challenged and informed to stimulate a new theoretical and practical approach to design where architectural and urban spaces are treated as psychological, social and cultural phenomena; spaces which accommodate, separate, structure, facilitate, heighten and even celebrate human spatial behaviour." "This book will prove fascinating and informative to design students and professionals interested in discovering new approaches to their work."--Jacket.
