This was completed as a thesis project towards a Masters degree from the San Francisco Institute of Architecture. The subject of this book is not limited to architecture as it is typically considered but attempts to explore the involvement of human awareness in creating physical and non-physical environments and what such a role might mean for engendering a more evolved human experience. In addition, the book contains a personal account of how I came to be writing about this topic and a series of colorful drawings or "illustrations" that accompany the text.
