DESCRIPTION:
Its a must have Im into the whole space and body theme in architecture. Bachelard makes a very compelling book about how space transforms and inspires us.Its not an easy book. It requires dedication and notes (i took a lot of notes and highlights of the book).But in the end, its worth it. Very interesting and something you think about it. Something you really sit and dream of future projects without having that stigma that is to look at other projects and try to copy them.It is a book to dream. Crappy production in paperback of a great book Song Bird I love this book, and it is even better in the original language. However, I purchased the paperback in English to replace a hardbound copy that was not returned to me in a loan. The quality of the paperback copy is very poor, like a newspaper print. If I were you and wanted to read it, I would order it in Kindle or look for a hard bound copy.. Amazon Customer said Difficult but interesting read. I purchased this book after reading the quote by Gaston Bachelard, “I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.” I was intrigued by the idea that the spaces we live and have lived in shape who were are. I've been reading this in bits as it's very "deep" and somewhat hard to digest. Not a light read, but very though provoking.
. It requires careful, preferably leisurely reading, with the possibility of moments to pause and digest and re-read the words. It will change the way you look at your home and your life, providing a deeper, more insightful relationship with the spaces you occupy. This is a deep, magical, densely captivating book about space, our homes, how we live in them, and how dwellings and space affect us; it is as much a book of philosophy as a work of serious literature
