of Bringing Buildings to Life
John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2008
Biophilic Design explores how we can better connect to nature through the design of buildings and neighborhoods.

The chapter on the picture window offers an alternative to the visual distantiation and physical separation of today's picture windows.
