Why We Build

Rowan Moore

18
<p>Buildings are driven by human emotions and desires; hope, power, money, sex, the idea of home.<br><br> In <i>Why We Build</i> Rowan Moore explores the making of buildings from conception to inhabitation and reveals the paradoxical power of architecture: it looks fixed and solid, but is always changing in response to the lives around it.<br><br> Moving across the globe and through history, through works of folly, beauty, spectacle, and subtlety, Moore gives a provocative and iconoclastic view of what makes architecture, why it matters, and why we find it fascinating. You will never look at a building in the same way again.</p>
