The Hidden Dimension
RECOMMENDED
by Edward T. Hall
People like to keep certain distances between themselves and other people or things. 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 relations, cross-cultural interactions, architecture, city planning, and urban renewal.
