Interests

Walking, jogging, swimming, reading, writing books on design related subjects, and writing book reviews. I believe in a holistic design approach. To me, planning, architecture and gardens are different aspects of the same overall design, they depend on each other and follow the same design principles. Writing books on important design related subjects is my pastime. Regarding book reviews, I only write reviews for good books, and the books that I am interested in. If a book is not good enough, I simply do not write a review for it instead of giving it a low rating or writing a bad review for it. I want to help other people to find good books. That is one reason why I write book reviews. Check out my reviews on Amazon.com
