This video and audio augmented book explains how the natural movements
of the sun, wind and rain can be used to improve the well-being of people in buildings and raise awareness of sustainable living practices. In demonstrating how buildings can be designed to reconcile their traditional role as shelter from the elements with the active inclusion of their movement, the book shows how, in the process of separating us from the extremes of the natural world, architecture
can also be a means of reconnecting us with nature.

A selection of the books videos can be seen at: www.vitalarchitecture.org

The book's more than fifty videos can also be viewed in the hardback
edition by scanning its still photosusing a smart phone app.
