幸福的建筑 (阿兰·德波顿文集)

The Architecture of Happiness is neither a textbook about the history of western architecture nor a book about the appreciation or decoration of architecture. It is the latest book that took Alain de Botton many years to finish. In the book, he studies a seemingly familiar but actually strange theme from an unique perspective--the relationship betwwen the physical architucture and our happiness. Why do human need architecture? why can some beautiful architecture enable you feel happy? Why your views about the beauty of the architecture change? What is the relationship between architecture and our happiness? To these questions, the author answers from perspectives of philisophy, aesthetics and psychology, which will completely overturn your former ideas about architecture and change your attitudes towards architecture, life and happiness from the root.
