Book Description
How great would it be to live in a home that can 100% reflect our true essence? One thing is certain. Home has always been the most beloved place to take refuge. Inside it, we spend time with our family and loved ones, consequently making it the ideal space in which to truly feel ourselves. The problem is that, more often than not, we happen to feel immersed in spaces that we do not feel are ours or that simply do not represent us. Reason why we look for quick and practical solutions that, however, instead of helping us live better, only distract us from the greatest goal a home should have: to make us feel good. If I told you now that there is a way, simple and effective, to properly design your home spaces, both indoor and outdoor, would you like to learn more? In this book, which is the result of my many years of experience in this field, I will show you how details can really make a difference when designing a home and how, through sensory design and architecture of the five senses, it is really possible to live in a home environment that can fully express our true essence in everyday life. INSIDE THIS BOOK YOU WILL DISCOVER: How our home affects our personal well-being. Why taking care of home spaces is a way to take care of ourselves as well. The architecture of the five senses: what it is, what it is for, and how it enables better living. How color also affects our perception of surfaces and space. The secret to designing home spaces through the four elements. What aspects to consider when designing outdoor spaces. How to structure outdoor spaces properly and functionally. Why paying special attention to the lighting of one's home is of paramount importance for the well-being of the family. What is the amount of budget to allocate to lighting a home. The real secret to furnishing your home properly and in line with your personality. ...and much more!

Book Description
From the authors of the #1 New York Times bestseller Designing Your Life comes a revised, fully up-to-date edition of Designing Your New Work Life, a timely, urgently needed book that shows us how to transform our new uncharted work life into a meaningful dream job or company. With practical, useful tools, tips, and design ideas that show us how to navigate disruption (global, regional, or personal) and create new possibilities for our post-COVID work world and beyond. Bill Burnett and Dave Evans successfully taught graduate and undergraduate students at Stanford University and readers of their best-selling book, Designing Your Life ("The prototype for a happy life." —Brian Lehrer, NPR), that designers don't analyze, worry, think, complain their way forward; they build their way forward. And now more than ever, we all need creative and adaptable tools to cope with the chaos caused by COVID-19. In Designing Your New Work Life, Burnett and Evans show us how design thinking can transform our present job, and how it can improve our experience of work in times of disruption. All disruption is personal, write Burnett and Evans, as with the life-altering global pandemic we are living through now. Designing Your New Work Life makes clear that disruption is the new normal, that it is here to stay and that it is accelerating. And in the book's new chapters, Burnett and Evans show us step by step, how to design our way through disruption and how to stay ahead of it—and thrive. Burnett and Evans's Disruption Design offers us a radical new concept that makes use of the designer mindsets: Curiosity, Reframing, Radical collaboration, Awareness, Bias to action, Storytelling, to find our way through these unchartered times. In Designing Your New Work Life, Burnett and Evans show us, with tools, tips, and design ideas, how we can make new possibilities available even when our lives have been disrupted (be it globally, regionally, or personally), giving us the tools to enjoy the present moment and allowing us to begin to prototype our possible future.

Book Description
When Designing Your Life was published in 2016, Stanford’s Bill Burnett and Dave Evans taught readers how to use design thinking to build meaningful, fulfilling lives (“Life has questions. They have answers.” –The New York Times). The book struck a chord, becoming an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. Now, in DESIGNING YOUR WORK LIFE: How to Thrive and Change and Find Happiness at Work they apply that transformative thinking to the place we spend more time than anywhere else: work. DESIGNING YOUR WORK LIFE teaches readers how to create the job they want—without necessarily leaving the job they already have. “Increasingly, it’s up to workers to define their own happiness and success in this ever-moving landscape,” they write, and chapter by chapter, they demonstrate how to build positive change, wherever you are in your career. Whether you want to stay in your job and make it a more meaningful experience, or if you decide it’s time to move on, Evans and Burnett show you how to visualize and build a work-life that is productive, engaged, meaningful, and more fun.

Book Description
Who wants to live how? The most diverse life patterns and lifestyles are reflected in the way a person designs his or her home. Architects and interior designers have to get involved with the individual character of their clients, they have to understand how their clients want to live and implement this in their room concepts and designs. From the seating furniture via the wall design to the orientation of the bed to the window, all of this provides information about the inhabitants on the most diverse levels. Wood or stainless steel, filigree plants, pink lampshades - or even the motorbike next to the fridge - make very different statements about the self-image and the sought-after external image of the residents. This book celebrates life in all its diversity through magnificent interiors.
