- Used Book in Good Condition
Vastu, the ancient Indian design philo-sophy, uses the human body to guide the creation of harmonious interiors

Some rooms refresh and reward everyone who enters them with a sense of comfort, calm, and wonder. Other interiorsâ€”no matter how lavishly appointedâ€”simply donâ€™t work. But why?

To puzzle out this riddle, design consultant Kathleen Cox studied vastu, the ancient Indian philosophy of space that centers on the human form as the guiding force in interior design. (A sister science to yoga, vastu was the precursor of feng-shui.) In Space Matters, Coxâ€”working with 11 other designers, all of them adept in the green architecture and â€œhome as sanctuaryâ€ movementsâ€”presents her utterly modern adaptation of vastuâ€™s age-old wisdom. The starting point is the awareness that space, and all the â€œmattersâ€ that occupy it, are fundamentally important to human well-being. The goalâ€”accomplished through the manipulation of color, light, and texture and the discerning selection of objects and sensitive placement of furnitureâ€”is to create environments that holistically appeal to body, mind, and soul.

Space Matters isnâ€™t just another catalog of great design work. As practical-minded as it is beautifully illustrated, the book provides questions and answers, before and after photos, and a wealth of advice explaining how to apply vastuâ€™s insightful, life-sustaining principles to your own home.
