The Architecture of Happiness by Alain De Botton
What makes a house truly beautiful? Why are many new houses so ugly? Why do we argue so bitterly about sofas and pictures - and can differences of taste ever be satisfactorily resolved? The author looks at buildings across the world, from medieval wooden huts to modern skyscrapers to answer these questions.
