A New Domesticity - The changing nature of our experience of the home

During the pandemic, we have all become more aware of our own domestic space and how we live and might like to live. It has caused us to further question the boundaries between public and private, and between house, home and holiday home. The wide use of video calling software has allowed us into the homes of colleagues, public figures, friends and family. While we couldn''t venture out to museums and galleries, we have a renewed interest in looking around the home.

This book will question the complex relationship between home and architecture, analysing how we experience our homes and domestic environments. It will critique the established concept of ''home'' rather than reaffirming it and look at what ''home'' means when technology is changing its very nature.

With illustrated examples and case studies, this book is predominantly a student textbook which will link theories around people''s experience of the home.
