Music, as Johan Wolfgang von Goethe wrote is liquid architecture and architecture is frozen music, and just as music can elevate the soul, so can architecture. Is it possible to design a house that would nourish and promote the development of the inhabitants' well-being and mindfulness?

The architect-priests of ancient Egypt not only believed buildings should embody our social values and individual tastes but strived for them to have their own soul. They used this knowledge and wisdom to erect temples and public buildings, a knowledge that architect Jean-Marie Gobet develops and shares through his latest book (The Holistic House- The genesis of form). In over thirty chapters he considers the new (though very ancient) field of Geobiologie, and how it can be used to read relationships between topography and environment as expressed in Feng Shui and western tradition of Geomancy, sympathetic resonance, the critical importance of materials in constructing for well-being, sources of energy, water in the landscape and the garden as a space for healing.
