The Shaping of Us: How Everyday Spaces Structure our Lives, Behaviour, and Well-Being
The Shaping of Us: How Everyday Spaces Structure our Lives, Behaviour, and Well-Being
The spaces we inhabit- from homes and workspaces to city streets-mediate community, creativity, and our very identity. Using insights from environmental psychology, design, and architecture, The Shaping of Us shows how the built and natural worlds subtly influence our behavior, health, and personality. Exploring ideas such as “ruin porn” and “ninja-proof seating,” mysteries of how we interact with the physical spaces around us are revealed. From caves and cathedrals to our current housing crisis and the dreaded open-plan office, Lily Bernheimer demonstrates that, for our well-being, we must reconnect with the power to shape our spaces.
