Document Summary
If we estimate the portion of an average day spent inside some sort of enclosing space, we will probably find we typically spend about 90 percent of our time inside, with only 10 percent outside.

The design professions began to take from in the renaissance as strictly traditional practices yielded to a more personal way of thinking about design of every sort.
