The Architecture of Happiness October 13, 2006

Alain de Botton
Co-sponsored by the American Institute of Architects-SF

The bestselling author of HOW PROUST CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE and THE ART OF TRAVEL takes a dazzling gaze at architecture and the indelible connection between identity and environment. With lucidity and wit, he traces how architectural styles from stately Classical to flamboyant Gothic to minimalist Modern provide a metaphor for cherished ideals, values and "raison d'être.
