Philosophy and architecture. If you like that stuff, you'll like this stuff.

This was interesting both as a short history of Western architecture and as a look at the psychology of art and taste over the centuries.

This was such a great book, I loved it and I really learned a lot. This book really got me thinking about what kind of architecture I enjoy.

“We owe it to the fields that our houses will not be the inferiors of the virgin land they have replaced. We owe it to the worms and the trees that the buildings we cover them with will stand as promised of the highest and most intelligent kinds of happiness.”

I thought this would talk more about feelings rather than buildings. It’s interesting overall, but at the end of the day, it’s still a thesis about how the buildings that surround us makes us who we are.
