At different levels, and for different
audiences, this book offers a window into a better world.
It contains a fascinating and inspirational selection of dwellings,
living spaces and environments from around the globe. But most
of all it offers the personal stories of pioneers, innovators
and communities who are seeking to live in greater harmony and
awareness with each other and the natural world.
It's a very personal book. It includes a range of divergent
lifestyles, homes and 'other ways of living'. Some of the contributions
are from internationally famous green architects and people who
want to develop and explore technological solutions to environmental
spaces. Others are artists, free spirits and nomads who are powerful
individualists, seeking new inspiration through communal living,
experimentation and sustainable developments. 
A very good combination of the more adventurous and the more conventional
approaches to new ways of sustainable living...it's interesting
to see the likes of low impact villages rubbing shoulders with
intentional communities, scrap-rafts, eco-tourism, modern nomads
and the international green community.

Collectively, Another kind of space offers a glimpse at the
realities of environmentalism and the eco-dwellings that can become
extensions of ourselves and our lifestyles.
