Deepening Design awakens a beautiful pathway to grow your creative genius.You will see the world differently. You will see yourself differently. And your design creativity and innovation will more profoundly help our world to reach new possibility.To evolve your creativity, Deepening Design unveils 10 key design principles strategically positioned within the "Cycle of Awareness" - guiding you to forge your creative path in ways that also deepen fulfillment for those that experience your designs. In essence, this allegorical book is a "deepening design" that never ends, as you will grow your creative genius more deeply with each reading.With 42 magnificent color images presented, this illustrated book in verse invites you into the design evolution of a "form" that is both an external artefact and a representation of our internal self. Thus, Deepening Design is a call for humanity to design and actualize our dream future for a world where all thrives. And for this, the awakening and growth of your own creative genius truly matters.Yet will humanity evolve by "deepening design" so we can actualize our highest potential? Or will humanity regress because we never fully leverage "deepening design"? The choice is ours, and the design of our future calls upon you.

Do your architectural designs foster well-being and thrivability in occupants? Do your designs innovate architectural technology in new ways? And do you make design decisions that pull from the latest scientific findings, including biomimicry design or where design meets neuroscience? As an architect, your design process is vital to the quality and outcome of your built environments. Yet how do you know if you are creating optimal designs for well-being? Or strategic designs that uplift the future of architecture into new, more innovative realms?In Bringing Architecture to the Next Level, you will discover how to solve the six greatest design challenges that hinder all architects. And when you unlock these six keys, you position your architectural design process to achieve its highest potential. Within this one-hour guidebook, you will shift your mindset to reach breakthrough ideas, meet and predict occupant need using sensory design, leverage your design process to get more with less, and rethink technology to unleash your innovative edge. For both architecture and interior design professionals alike, Bringing Architecture to the Next Level will help you integrate innovation in architecture to create environments where people thrive.

***WINNER OF A NAUTILUS 2017 SILVER MEDAL BOOK AWARD***Adaptive Sensory Environments: An Introduction presents a cutting-edge methodology for adaptive sensory design by fostering an inter-disciplinary approach in which aspects of neuroscience, biophilia, captology, nanotechnology, kinetics, and sensemaking all play critical roles in helping adaptive architecture "tune" to occupants. Furthermore, the book illustrates how adaptive sensory environments transform and uplift quality of life in entirely new ways, by strategically unlocking the potential that technological innovations bring. By teaching scholars, researchers, practitioners, specialists, and consultants how to design architecture that guides what emerging interactive technology can do, it allows them to see deeper into an architectural design, to extend beyond interaction and, ultimately, to build environments that adapt by changing and growing with their occupants’ immediate needs and long-term goals.
