In Why We Build 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. Moving across the globe and through history through works of folly beauty spectacle and subtlety -- the doomed mansion of an Atlanta multimillionaire the phenomenally successful High Line in New York -- 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.
