Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thorough, abundantly illustrated treatment of a complex topic. Malkin corresponded with about 500 people involved with close to 1,000 projects; he formulated criteria for excellence and reviewed the projects, becoming increasingly sophisticated himself about the intricacies of design, well-being, and practicality in various contexts and for various special populations--the elderly (especially those with dementia), children, neonates, critical care patients, cancer patients, psychiatric patients, the chemically dependent, and others. He has selected the best and presents them here with extensive commentary on a broad sweep of topics connected with architecture, aesthetics, and health.
