Let's pause... and consider home as more than just architecture.‬‭

This‬‭ collaborative‬‭ exploration‬‭ invites‬‭ us‬‭ to‬‭ pause‬‭ and‬‭ reconsider‬‭ what‬‭ truly‬‭ shapes‬‭ the‬ ‭ spaces‬‭ we‬‭ inhabit.‬‭ Rooted‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ belief‬‭ that‬‭ domesticity‬‭ is‬‭ not‬‭ a‬‭ static‬‭ setting‬‭ for‬‭ everyday‬‭ life‬‭ but‬‭ a‬‭ living‬‭ and‬‭ evolving‬‭ experience,‬‭ the‬‭ book‬‭ expands‬‭ from‬‭ the‬‭ scope‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ architectural‬  lens.‬‭ By‬‭ reintroducing‬‭ home‬‭ as‬‭ something‬‭ felt,‬‭ remembered,‬‭ imagined,‬‭ and‬‭ continuously‬‭ made,‬‭ this‬‭ publication‬‭ tackles‬‭ the‬‭ issues‬‭ of‬‭ dwelling,‬‭ belonging‬‭ and‬‭ shared‬‭ living‬‭ with‬‭ architects,‬‭ interior‬‭ architects,‬‭ educators,‬‭ designers,‬‭ and‬‭ practitioners‬‭ whose‬‭ work‬‭ touches‬‭ on‬‭ care, intimacy, and everyday rituals.‬

‭ Divided‬‭ into‬‭ two‬‭ correlated‬‭ parts‬‭-Reflections‬‭ and‬‭ Exercises‭-the‬‭ book‬‭ brings‬‭ together‬ twenty-one‬‭ contributes‬‭ including‬‭ essays,‬‭ conversations,‬‭ and‬‭ interactive‬‭ exercises.‬‭ While‬ Reflections‬‭ invites‬‭ you‬‭ on‬‭ a‬‭ journey‬‭ through‬‭ alternating‬‭ perceptions‬‭ and‬‭ experiences‬‭ of‬‭ domestic‬‭ life,‬‭ Exercises‬‭ opens‬‭ a‬‭ space‬‭ to‬‭ explore‬‭ home‬‭ yourself:‬‭ not‬‭ just‬‭ as‬‭ a‬‭ concept,‬‭ but‬‭ as a personal, unfolding experience.‬

‭ Inherently‬‭ tied‬‭ to‬‭ space.‬‭ Closely‬‭ connected‬‭ to‬‭ the‬‭ decorative.‬‭ A‬‭ reminder‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ presence‬‭ of‬‭ hospitality. A shared exercise in practicing domesticity.‬
