Home Part Two

London is full of Victorian homes.

Book: Ideal Homes?: Social Change and Domestic Life By Tony Chapman, JenniferLorna Hockey.

“Victorian home is, therefore, more accurately defined as a kind of battleground: a place of a constant struggle to maintain privacy, security and respectability in dangerous word.”

Houses are a complex arrangement of spaces, a place for family rituals, a display cabinet of social virtues.

A home is a place where space and time are controlled and structured functionally, economically, aesthetically and morally and where domestic communitarian practices are realised. ( Rapport and Dawson, 1998: 6; Douglas, 1991).

Communitarianism is a philosophy that emphasizes the connection between the individual and the community. The community might be a family unit.

Most of the houses that we see across London have in front rooms where they show off to the world and in the back is the living space.

William S. Sax

“People and the places where they reside are engaged in a continuing set of exchanges; they have determinate, mutual effects upon each other because they are part of a single, interactive system.”

The circular architecture reflects the walking and meditation of the monks that they daily do.

Hogewey Dementia Village, Denmark.

Residents have their old homes replicated because change is difficult for them. The architecture of the building is new and modern but the interior is the same as the old one.
