masyukun 's review for:

The Architecture of Happiness by Alain de Botton

2.0

---

This reads as a hodge-podge clipping book of Alain's thoughts on architecture. There's an almost-synthesis that starts sounding like architecture should be designed to compensate for people's neuroses, but it fell short of a complete theory. I think there are some gems here, but they need to be polished into a coherent whole.
