Living in Harmony

Myriad are the ways of touting what you want to sell, but few are the opportunities for making a cultutal happening out of it. But this is just what Casarmonia does. A hook-show wanted by Sandtex in Trieste, a Company that produces paints, preparatory materials and finishes for the building trades, tells the story, through texts by Clara Mantica and drawings by Antonio Villas, of how a house can be built to bring it into harmony with man and his environment. The book explores certain little-known fields in detail, such as geo-biology (the study of cosmic and terrestrial influences to which every living organism is subject) or bioarchitecture (a comparatively new discipline that determines what topographical conformations, typologies and materials are best for building purposes). The chapter dedicated to color (colors and well-being, living with color, color and lighting and applying colorlandscape, architecture and design) explains how different chromatic tones can exert a positive influence over our lives. Dinsah Ghardiali, a noted researcher in the field of color therapy, has actually, in fact, established a relationship between colors and the physiology of the body. Orange, for example, according to his research, acts as an antispasmodic respiratory stimulant, while green is an antiseptic germicide.
