Description
Architecture is shaped by emotions. In "Why We Build", Rowan Moore explores how buildings are driven by human desires and experiences, revealing the complex relationships between our lives and the structures we inhabit. Moore takes us on a journey across the globe and through history, examining works of architecture that showcase both beauty and folly. From grand baroque churches to remarkable modern creations, he uncovers the stories behind these iconic buildings and the people who designed them. With a provocative and iconoclastic view, Moore challenges our perceptions of what makes architecture matter. Reading "Why We Build" will change the way you see buildings - and yourself.
