Alain de Botton.
A renaisance man indeed.
"His latest, The Architecture of Happiness, aims to discover why
we like or despise certain buildings. Equal parts psychological
investigation and aesthetic treatise, the book contends that buildings
affect us deeply: They bolster our happy moods or they can cause
misery. A church, bridge, or office tower has much to say to us
about discipline, bravery, or idealism -- if we'd only pay attention."
