The Architecture of Happiness by Alain De Botton Book Review

Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Breezy musings from an enthusiast
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2017
Review: An enthusiast is, I think, the perfect guide to an interesting subject of which we know little. Alain de Botton is one such docent and The Architecture of Happiness is a delightful overview of the eponymous subject. This is not a history of architecture but rather a meditation upon why it matters: how it impacts our lives and affects our moods; what are the component parts that make it a success or failure? There are general observations about the classical tradition and Gothic styles and the radical break of modernism. So radical was it that even professionals had difficulty, for a time, distinguishing between engineering and architecture. The author considers all styles worthwhile and seeks out the best within them.
De Botton writes beautifully and passionately with helpful photographs or renderings that compare and contrast what he is extolling or criticizing. The final two chapters (“The Virtues of Buildings” and “The Promise of a Field”) are particularly fine. In them, he discusses (among other things) order, elegance, balance, and coherence. The promise of a field is a paean to the spaces we occupy that were once either uncluttered or naturally beautiful in their own right. De Botton argues that if we are going to plop down a structure in the midst of nature (which already contains natural order, elegance, and balance) let us at least make it a ‘best effort’. Put thought and consideration into the process rather than just utilitarian or worse, adding another scar on the landscape. Let’s make cities like Edinburgh or Bath — conceived, planned and executed with purpose, not the awful sprawl of London or Los Angeles. I couldn’t agree more.
Very worthwhile.

Title: 10/10
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 17, 2020
Review: De Botton goes ahead and quotes thinkers and poets and scientists and writers like Maria Rilke, Le Corbusier, Freud, etc. He talks about art and more specifically architecture and design with a very poetic and philosophical approach. He asks questions like the meaning and value of beauty, how buildings talk, the moral messages behind design and how architecture “renders vivid to us who we might ideally be”. He also guides the reader through the “journey” of architecture and all the different movements and styles, which always end up being influenced by the social context of the era (so it’s full of worthy information, facts, theory and history).
I will quote a paragraph that I really liked because it perfectly explains not only the importance but the urge to put all of our hearts and minds into designing beautiful things:
“To describe a building as beautiful therefore suggests more than a mere aesthetic fondness; it implies an attraction to the particular way of life this structure is promoting through its roof, door handles, window frames, staircase and furnishings. A feeling of beauty is a sign that we have come upon a material articulation of certain of our ideas of a good life.”
De Botton never fails to touch my heart so it’s no surprise this book definitely did it.

Title: Excellent Writing
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 16, 2022
Review: If you are an architect, this may be a reprise of stuff you already know. But for me, this was a wonderful and, AFAIK, fairly complete review of why (but not how) we build buildings (and cities) the way we do. The writing is so evocative, that it was a joy just to read the words, and I’d read it again immediately — except my to-read stack of books is getting out of control. Well illustrated with good photographs on ever other page.

Title: Cynics of Architecture, Read This
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2012
Review: I had never read anything by Botton before picking up this one, so it was not only an architectural journey, but a stylistic one in terms of writing, as well. It starts off with pessimistic, albeit realistic views of architecture and its limits. It sounds so pessimistic in tone at first that you wonder where the book’s title comes from, which draws you into it more. The ideas presented in this book are substantiated with plenty of real life proof, from Le Corbusier’s mishaps to Frank Gehry’s playful escapes. I wish the author would have been more direct in his language, as his ideas are not in need of pompous language to get across. I also would have liked to see at least one allusion to a work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
None of the arguments in the book are earth-shattering, and they shouldn’t be. De Botton’s ultimate purpose of the book is to convert the “non-believers” of architecture who believe that the profession is nothing more than fanciful, unnecessary ornament. It successfully proves why we need architecture in a very gradual way: first, if you believe that who you are depends on external forces (not a very demanding concept for even the most cynical), then you can come to believe that who you are depends on where you are, followed by who you are depends on the built environment around you as much as the people in your life. After he adds this concluding link in his chain of persuasion, de Botton provides a list of five virtues that any happy structure should reflect: order, balance, elegance, coherence, and self-knowledge.
