Moller, Clifford B.
Architectural Environment and Our Mental Health [by] Clifford B. Moller.
New York, Horizon Press [1968]
159 pages 25 cm
"This provocative book is a significant new contribution to the literature of architectural humanism. It brilliantly demonstrates how our psychological well-being is far more profoundly dependent upon our architectural environment than is generally acknowledged. Clifford B. Moller, expert in architectural research and design, is uniquely aware of the key concepts of our time, not only in the art of creating the spaces in which we live but also in sociology and psychiatry. He is thus able to explore the sources of emotional health and emotional disorders and to show these psychological processes are constantly shaped by man's interactions with the world he makes. In illuminating this reciprocal relationship, Architectural Environment and Our Mental Health establishes a basic re-definition of the meaning of architecture, and shows how the relief of the social ills that increasingly beset out cities lies in a clarified appreciation of this dynamic relationship. Mr. Moller's thoughtful grasp of the many complex problems involved, and his wide range of knowledge in the several related fields, enable him to distill the pertinent ideas of such diverse authorities as Robert Coles, John Dewey, Erich Fromm, Lawrence Kubie, Lewis Mumford, Bruno Zevi, etc. A controversial aspect of this book is its recommendation of an "anti-form" emphasis in design - an inevitable extension of its main argument. The author shows how preoccupation with form for its own sake can only imperil our achievement of the humanistic goals we seek to realize in reshaping our urban environment." -- Dust Jacket.
