Description
The Architecture of Happiness explores the fascinating links between the buildings we live in and our long-term wellbeing. Alain de Botton examines buildings across the world, from medieval wooden huts to modern skyscrapers, to tease out surprising philosophical insights.
From sofas and cathedrals to tea sets and office complexes, de Botton looks at the many factors that influence our relationships with the spaces we inhabit. He offers a fresh perspective on the history and psychology of architecture and interior design, and invites readers to rethink their own homes.
This thought-provoking book is a beguiling tour through the world of architecture and interior design, offering a new way of thinking about the spaces we live in and the impact they have on our lives.
