In this immensely popular, witty, and highly provocative book, Witold Rybczynski explores the evolution of the concept of home throughout history. By peeling away layers of design, technology, and habit, the author examines how our attitudes toward convenience and domesticity have changed over time, from the Dutch domesticity of Vermeer to the electrical, gas-heated comfort of the modern era.
'Home' invites readers to reclaim their living spaces from the rigid plans of architects, arguing that a house should be in harmony with less easily categorized ideas like pleasure, ease, and intimacy. It offers a rare and entertaining window into our private lives and how we truly want to live.
