Alex Caruso, co-director of ACA, is proud to announce the publication of his first book, “Design & Meditation.”
This compelling work chronicles Alex’s personal journey of overcoming a severe motorbike accident and how his recovery process inspired a unique approach to integrating well being into his architectural designs.
About the book
“Design & Meditation” is a personal narrative that explores Alex’s physical and emotional recovery after his accident through which he discovered a profound connection between personal wellbeing and the spaces we inhabit. This realisation became the cornerstone of his design philosophy, leading him to incorporate elements that promote health and wellbeing into all his architectural projects.
Alex commented: “I wanted to share my story to inspire others who might be facing their own challenges and to highlight the importance of designing spaces that nurture our wellbeing. My experience taught me that architecture can play a vital role in our recovery and overall health.”
In “Design & Meditation,” Alex details his rehabilitation journey, sharing insights into how meditation and mindfulness not only aided his recovery, but also transformed his professional outlook. The book delves into practical strategies for incorporating wellbeing into architectural design, offering readers a blend of personal anecdotes and professional expertise.
Alex’s commitment to wellbeing is evident in his work at ACA, where every project is approached with a holistic perspective. His designs prioritise natural light, harmonious layouts and the use of sustainable materials; all aimed at creating environments that support mental and physical health.
The release of “Design & Meditation” marks a significant milestone in Caruso’s career, reflecting his dedication to innovation and human-centred design. The book is now available for purchase through Amazon and the ACA website.
