And yet a concern for architecture is too often described as frivolous, even self-indulgent. Alain de Botton starts from the idea that where we are heavily influences who we can be, and argues that it is architecture's task to stand as an eloquent reminder of our full potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307277244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 6.06w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/25\/2008 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alain De Botton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635557134492,"sku":"9780307277244","price":19.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_af2cf312-f361-4cdf-a8df-1a2bc7620d35.jpg?v=1603839891","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-architecture-of-happiness-9780307277244","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
