Emily TeagueFirst to rec“A thought-provoking exploration of the deep connection between our surroundings and our emotional well-being. One of the most compelling aspects of this book is its ability to bridge the gap between architectural theory and everyday experience. De Botton argues that architecture is not merely about aesthetics or functionality but is deeply intertwined with the pursuit of happiness. What do you think, are they intertwined? I firmly believe that well-designed spaces have the power to make us happier :)”
