From the Back Cover
Defined as "the practice of architecture, planning and interior design in which psychology is the principal design tool", the purpose of Design Psychology is to create environments that reflect the individual or group as well as encourage positive change.
Some Place Like Home introduces the new field of Design Psychology, using in-depth interviews with design superstars Michael Graves, Andres Duany and Charles Jencks to examine how places from the past contain the seeds of future choices for home locations, dwellings and interior design.
The Design Psychology Exercises used to delve into the environmental autobiographies of Graves, Jencks and Duany can in turn be used by readers, themselves, to explore their own environmental treasure chests.
The last portion of the book focuses on the practical application of Design Psychology by showing examples of residential, corporate and institutional projects created via the Design Psychology process. A Design Psychology Toolbox, provided at the end of the book, gives readers hands-on programming exercises they can use to explore and design from their most fulfilling inner experiences.
This is a groundbreaking, must read book for anyone seeking to create an ideal environment that feels "Some Place Like Home".

Paperback. Condition: Good. Personal history plays an enormous role in the type of aesthetic choices that underlie home design and selection. An individual's environmental autobiography, a lifetime of environmental experiences, undoubtedly informs an aesthetic outlook. This architectural design study discusses these concepts, bridging the world of aesthetics and psychology. It focuses on the environmental stories of innovators including Michael Graves, Charles Jencks and Andres Duany, examining the impress of personal history on some of their well-known public works, to illustrate how inextricably life and work are bound.
