A book about architecture from the perspective of everyday use. Let's pause... and consider the home as more than just architecture.
This collaborative exploration invites us to pause and reconsider what truly shapes the spaces we inhabit. Based on the belief that domestic life is not a static environment for daily living, but rather a living and evolving experience, the book expands the scope of the architectural perspective. By reintroducing the home as something continually felt, remembered, imagined, and constructed, this publication addresses issues of dwelling, belonging, and cohabitation with architects, interior designers, educators, designers, and other professionals whose work engages with care, intimacy, and everyday rituals.
Divided into two interrelated parts, Reflections and Exercises, the book brings together twenty-one articles, including essays, conversations, and interactive exercises. While Reflections invites readers on a journey through alternative perceptions and experiences of domestic life, Exercises opens a space for exploring home for oneself: not only as a concept, but as a personal, evolving experience.
Intrinsically linked to space. Closely connected to decoration. A reminder of the presence of hospitality. A shared exercise in the practice of domesticity.
