Critics Review
Designing Mind-Friendly Environments is an illuminating and thought-provoking book in which Maslin offers rich professional and personal insights into how design and the environment we live and work in affect our health and wellbeing. Teaching us much about our senses and the deeply personal act of perceptual experience along the way, Maslin’s book firmly places the person at the centre of design. This is a must-read for anybody interested in inclusive design and a sustainable future. – Ute Leonards, University of Bristol
