Putting people first--an integrated approach to architecture and psychology that opens up a fresh landscape of design alternatives Introducing a different architectural approach that transcends fixed notions of style, this book emphasizes seeing and enhancing the close connections that link both architect and occupant as well as the material, symbolic, and human aspects of designed spaces. It draws from the rich realm of archetypal psychology to show how in moving from inside out--from people's activities, dreams, and desires to the creation of space--architecture can be truly transformative.This volume aims to demonstrate how architects can work with clients to uncover both the existing and preferred ways that people inhabit and experience their space. Drawing from archetypal psychology, architects place patterns of human activity and meaning at the centre of the design process.
