Mensch und Raum

This fundamental and widely read work on experienced space and the spatiality of human existence is a standard reference for philosophers and teachers, and it has also been a basic text for architects at least since its second edition. ? Bollnow=s philosophical work seeks to reach space in which happiness arises. It teaches human beings that through true residence in space they can realize their human essence: when they are able to settle without rigidifying, when they try to put down roots without cutting themselves off, and finally when they learn how to entrust themselves without surrender.= & Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
