Book summary

Alain de Botton takes a humanistic approach to design and architecture in this contemplative and diverse book of critical thought. For de Botton, a building's success and failure derives from psychological origins, and we interact with buildings the way we would interact with other humans. With insight and easy intelligence, THE ARCHITECTURE OF HAPPINESS explores on the role of architecture in our lives.

Media reviews

"[Alain de Botton] has an observant eye and good taste.... The search for truth, beauty and happiness takes Mr. de Botton far afield, geographically and chronologically."
