In few other design tasks is the need to achieve the right balance between function and atmosphere of such importance: which ritual requirements have to be incorporated, which pragmatic needs have to be met for a service?

Which shapes of plan, what type of volume, and which lighting and acoustic concepts contribute to the sacred atmosphere of a space?

European emigrés have been changing the face of modern American architecture for decades. Winka Dubbeldam surely belongs to that long list of distinguished practitioners.

Folded glass facades, intelligent building cores, and interactive environments highlight the work of her progressive, process-based studio/laboratory, Archi-Tectonics.

The environmental impact of interior architecture and design practice is immense. This book highlights the need for designers to adapt the way they work and relearn lessons that have been lost.
