Online search engines are fine but nothing beats a good book! Our research, development and practice has been enhanced by a dip into many papers, journals and books. The Linen Shelf of our Journeys in Design Library is groaning with collections of wonderful essays and images about the contemporary design and heritage of linen and flax fibre. We include our favourites here grateful for the expertise of others and delighted to pass this on to those with a shared passion.
“The aim of the book is to showcase the widest possible range of projects where a sustainable design approach has been adopted in response to social, economic and environmental issues. With this book we aim to illuminate the subject of sustainability as applied to the built environment.” Robin Harper
