Architecture of Happiness

By Alain de Botton, 2007

Why do we fill our homes with designer objects? Why do we build such extravagant houses? What is all of this design and architecture for? De Botton cuts through weighty philosophical theory to explain with engaging clarity and takes us on a tour of architecture and design from the neo-classic to the modernist, leading us to understand what such things mean to us. An enlightening and highly pleasurable read for anyone interested not just in design, but matters of the human heart.
