About This Event

Philosopher and author Alain de Botton explores the profound relationship between the spaces we inhabit and our emotional lives, drawing on art, architecture, and psychology to argue that beautiful surroundings are not a luxury but a necessity for human flourishing.

Why Attend

De Botton makes you see your own home — and every building you pass — as a philosophical statement about what we value and who we want to become.
