| a green guide to natural beauty: The Shape of Green Lance Hosey, 2012-06-11 Does going green change the face of design or only its content? The first book to outline principles for the aesthetics of sustainable design, The Shape of Green argues that beauty is inherent to sustainability, for how things look and feel is as important as how they’re made. In addition to examining what makes something attractive or emotionally pleasing, Hosey connects these questions with practical design challenges. Can the shape of a car make it more aerodynamic and more attractive at the same time? Could buildings be constructed of porous materials that simultaneously clean the air and soothe the skin? Can cities become verdant, productive landscapes instead of wastelands of concrete? Drawing from a wealth of scientific research, Hosey demonstrates that form and image can enhance conservation, comfort, and community at every scale of design, from products to buildings to cities. Fully embracing the principles of ecology could revolutionize every aspect of design, in substance and in style. Aesthetic attraction isn’t a superficial concern — it’s an environmental imperative. Beauty could save the planet. |

This legacy is still evident in the town’s thriving galleries and museums, which feature works from both local and international artists. Today, Sitges is synonymous with festivals, including the famous Sitges Film Festival, which celebrates cinema from around the world, as well as its lively Carnival, a colorful event that fills the streets with music, parades, and costumes. The sense of celebration is deeply ingrained in Sitges, and it is reflected in the welcoming spirit of its residents and the vibrant atmosphere that pervades its streets year-round.

Sitges’ narrow, winding streets invite exploration, and there is a feeling of surprise around every corner, whether it’s a hidden courtyard, a quaint café, or a boutique shop. One of the town’s most iconic structures is the Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla, which sits atop a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, offering visitors a sense of tranquility as well as breathtaking views.
