The Phenomenon of Life

The Process of Creating Life

A Vision of a Living World

The Luminous Ground

The Center for Environmental Structure announces the publication of the four volumes of The Nature of Order as ebooks. As the international community of Building Beauty students, staff, researchers, professionals and lay people grows, it is important for these books to become more accessible to everyone; just as Building Beauty’s online program makes the course available to people around the world.

Ebooks may be ordered here.

The Nature of Order is the theoretical backbone of the course, and is also offered as a webinar every year. Previous sessions were recorded and are provided here.

We are looking forward to the 2021-22 academic year, and talking with prospective students. Registration is open now. Details of the course are here.

Please write to us at hello@buildingbeauty.org with any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you.
