This is a chance for the next generation to develop the tools to talk about architecture with confidence, knowledge, and passion. It tells us about what a satisfying building is, what makes a street enticing (or not), why some cities are charming and others repel us--and how we might build going forward in a way that will reliably delight and uplift us. <p>This engaging guide is designed to help children (and their favorite adults) to understand how buildings work and how we might create the better looking world we all crave and deserve.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>These two books will help to give children a sense of what the point of architecture and art really are--in a way that will imbue them with a genuine lifelong interest in the subjects -<i>Alain de Botton</i></p> <p>This innovative guide teaches the basic principles of architecture in a relatable style associating concepts with everyday things, like a favorite sports team or creating a recipe.

While I am an adult reader, I enjoyed this book as it will cause me to ask questions about architecture that I had not previously considered - why are certain areas appealing and others not. - <i>Goodreads review</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>The School of Life is a global organization helping people lead more fulfilled lives.
