Front Cover
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 1966 - Architecture - 217 pages
People like to keep certain distances between themselves and other people or thigns. And this invisible bubble of space that constitutes each person's "territory" is one of the key dimensions of modern society. Edward T. Hall, author of The Silent Language, introduced the science of proxemics to demonstrate how man's use of space can affect personal and business reltions, cross-cultural interactions, architecture, city planning, and urban renewal.

"This is a book of impressive genius, replete with unusually sharp observations." —Richard J. Neutra, Landscape Architecture
