Description: 240 p. : col. ill. ; 18 cmISBN: 0789313537 ; 9780789313539Subject(s): Space (Architecture) | MeditationLOC classification: NA 2765 .F745 2005Summary: "What makes a space a refuge for quiet reflection? This illuminating volume features an array of diverse havens that compel calmness. In addition to unique temples and Zen gardens, structures include a spare wall-to-wall wood washitsu room, an ice chapel, a glass-paneled tent, a room of undulating red paper banners - even a perch-like "tree house." No single element unifies the bastions of tranquility featured, instead individual and imaginative uses of color, form, light, material, and space are key. Whether expansive or confined, portable or permanent, public or private, one thing is certain: places solely designed to reinvigorate the mind and spirit are not an indulgence in our fast-paced, stressful world - they are a necessity."--BOOK JACKET.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
