David Pearson's Spaces

David Pearson, in The New Natural House Book. makes these points about spacing designing:

• A house is not just a collection of rooms
• Think of "activities" and "processe".
• Think of "hygene" not just kitchen and bathoom.
• Think of "sleeping peacefully" not just bedroom.
• Well being, safety from accidents, security and "health space" are key concepts.
• Linking indoors with outdoors -- transition spaces.
• Comforts instead of ight, heat, AC and ventilation.
• Orientation to sun and shade.
