Even experienced architects sometimes forget the basics. Living in Paradise is a great way how to remind ourselves of some of the core principles that are good to follow while designing. --Lars Bendrup, Owner of TRANSFORM architects-- The book is great for students to get inspiration from. Not only it has many tips on how to become a successful building designer, but also it gives the reader many questions to boost their imagination.
