Carol Venolia
Carol Venolia is an architect and educator who has
been involved with ecological building for over thirty years. Named
a Green Design Trailblazer by Natural Home & Garden Magazine,
she has designed numerous context-responsive homes of straw, earth,
and "good wood" and consulted on schools, healing centers,
and eco-villages.
Her latest book, with fellow eco-architect Kelly
Lerner, is Natural Remodeling for the Not-So-Green House: Bringing
Your Home into Harmony with Nature. Her first book, Healing Environments:
Your Guide to Indoor Well-Being, was a groundbreaking exploration
of ways to restore vital connections between humans and the rest
of the living world.
In addition to her architectural practice, Carol
currently directs the EcoDwelling program at New College of California
and writes the "Design for Life" column for Natural Home & Garden
Magazine.
