Can architecture make you happy?

Slow Design

Amazing Locations Yes It can Make You Happy

It depends if you like to let your surroundings enhance your soul. Maybe the simple inspiration of a place that illuminates the sensuous details of a timeless dwelling has the earthy and stylish reverberations of a primal era. It can soothe the mind and open up the imagination. Mexico (Verana ) knows how to let it glow and yes dare I say go about it personally.

Here is someone who wrote a book about buildings and happiness Alain de Botton read all about h is well studied philosophy
