The Question of Beauty in Architecture

An examination of what makes an aesthetically successful building, with particular reference to the words ‘beauty’ and ‘ugliness’


Alain de Botton is a writer of essayistic books, which refer both to his own experiences and ideas and those of artists, philosophers and thinkers. It's a style of writing that has been termed a 'philosophy of everyday life.' His best-selling books include How Proust Can Change Your Life (1997), The Consolations of Philosophy (2000), The Art of Travel (2002) and Status Anxiety (2004). His latest book is a further work of non-fiction, The Architecture of Happiness (2006).
