This follow-up to Meditations on Design shows readers how to work with their homes as living spaces that change and evolve as their lives do. Organized around six activities people conduct in their homes - sleeping, bathing, working, cooking, dining, and playing - the book suggests ideas for creating spaces that are both functional and beautiful.

Patterns of Home

by Max Jacobson, Murray Silverstein and Barbara Winslow

Just Enough

by Azby Brown

In Just Enough, Azby Brown turns to the history of Japan to find lessons on living in a sustainable society.  This book depicts vanished ways of life from the point of view of a contemporary observer, and presents a compelling argument around how to forge a society that is conservation-minded, waste-free, well-housed, well-fed and economically robust.  This is one of the most eye opening books I've ever read on what it means to live sustainably - a pivotal book for me.
