In this three part programme, Alain de Botton goes in search of answers to our housing crisis and comes up with some suggestions for the perfect home: a kind of architecture that can make us happy.
In PART ONE he went in search of answers to our housing crisis, and came up with some suggestions for the perfect home: a kind of architecture that can make us happy as our environments determine how we feel. Watch part one on Tudou, Veoh or YouTube.
In PART TWO he suggests that most new houses are built in appalling taste - and that, with a housing deficit of around a million homes, this country urgently needs to wake up to the merits of good design. Watch part two on Tudou, Veoh or YouTube.
In PART THREE he travels to Holland and Japan, to see how different our homes could look. He argues for houses that help us to see the world as a place to feel at home in, rather than to fear. Watch part three on Tudou, Veoh or YouTube.
