Nicely bitten by time 1954 first edition, book collects 47 essays on thesis: design is not an aesthetic luxury but a biological necessity. Neutra called this approach "biorealism" the idea that the built environment directly affects human physiology and nervous systems, so architects should ground design decisions in biology, psychology, and physiology rather than style or commerce. He warned that poorly designed environments cause real harm, and that humanity's survival depends on bringing design into harmony with human nature and the natural world, a strikingly early ecological argument.
Inside clean, front jacket shattered but in the Library of Technics fashion, saved and included.
