内容简介 John Ruskin proposed that every good building must do two things: it must shelter us, but it must also speak to us. In this beautiful book, Alain de Botton poses the following question: what do we want our buildings to talk about? Tackling the questions of architecture and interior design at a new and deserved level of philosophical depth, "The Architecture of Happiness" takes us on a riveting journey through Western and Eastern aesthetics. The issues surrounding the decoration of our own homes touch on major questions at the heart of the philosophy of art - what is beautiful? Are beauty and goodness related? Can beauty bring happiness?
