DESIGN A SPACE


Manspace by Alec Allinson, Beverly Allinson, and John McInnes, Thomas Nelson & Sons, Ontario, 1973
"Well---you see---everybody's in space. This book tells about the space around you, how much space you need and how it works. Sometimes you're all squashed in and sometimes you have plenty of room to turn cartwheels and play games. It's about why we get close to each other and why we sometimes keep our distance. Then there's homespace---the space we live in---and homes on the move---and public space, like streets and parks---and crowds and overcrowding and pollution---and all things that happen on our earth"
