무엇이 '집'을 아름답게 하는가? 집이 우리를 행복하게 만들어줄 수 있는가? 건축물들은 우리에게 어떤 영향력을 발휘하고 있는 것일까? 이 책에서 저자는 이러한 질문들을 던지며 우리의 삶 속으로 깊숙이 파고든다.
저자는 소박한 테라스부터 유명한 건축물까지 다양한 사례들을 살펴보면서 건축물들이 우리에게 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지, 행복의 가능성을 조금이라도 열기 위한 건축 방법들은 어떤 것인지에 대해 깊이있게 통찰한다. 많은 사진과 일러스트는 매끄러운 이해를 돕는다.
What makes a house beautiful? Is it serious to spend your time thinking about home decoration? Why do people disagree about taste? And can buildings make us happy? In "The Architecture of Happiness", Alain de Botton tackles a relationship central to our lives. Our buildings - and the objects we fill them with - affect us more profoundly than we might think. To take architecture seriously is to accept that we are, for better and for worse, different people in different places. De Botton suggests that it is architecture's task to render vivid to us who we might ideally be. Turning the spotlight from the humble terraced house to some of the world's most renowned buildings, de Botton considers how our private homes and public edifices - from those of Christopher Wren to those of Le Corbusier and Norman Foster - influence how we feel, as well as how we could learn to build in ways that would increase our chances of happiness. "The Architecture of Happiness" amounts to a beguiling tour through the philosophy and psychology of architecture. [예스24 제공]
