The Tendency Not To Understand Who We Are

“Bad architecture is in the end as much a failure of psychology as of design. It is an example expressed through materials of the same tendencies which in other domains will lead us to marry the wrong people, choose inappropriate jobs and book unsuccessful holidays: the tendency not to understand who we are and what will satisfy us.”

― Alain de Botton, The Architecture of Happiness

Reflection in The Globe, AT&T Discovery District, Dallas, Texas
