Since the 2008 financial crisis, lists of well-being indicators, happiness indexes, and quality-of-life rankings have become viral. Concurrently, the emotional data presented in these surveys feed an expanding political agenda of happiness and a new form of market whose most decisive asset is “affect”. 'Our Happy Life' investigates the architectural implications of this trend by dissecting and questioning the political, economic, and emotional conditions that generate space today. The book reveals architecture, city and landscape as contested surfaces, caught between the intangible guidelines of happiness indexes, the new marketplace of emotions, and the relentless ideology of positivity. Published in conjunction with the eponymous exhibition at the CCA from May 8 to October 13, 2019. Issued also in French under the tiltle ‘Nos Jours Heureux’.
