Space of Home

Introduction

At best, the house has attracted interest as a place integrated production, particularly through the study of rural housing. Study the house itself could not become evident only after a long evolution of the discipline, evolution marked by the introduction of the notion of space and change of perspective introduced by cultural geography. One of the fundamental problems of the geography of the area has been homed to "dare to metric scale," the space of the individual, body, emotion. Given its importance in our lives, the private area has been surprisingly neglected by the social sciences, including geography, which has long been treated as a "black box", preferring to focus on collective phenomena and their translation into public space.

The architecture of the house and noting changes reflect the need to provide a framework new forms and social expectations that represent the emergence of the individual, construction of the model family, modesty, privacy, privacy. However, it is also clear that the individual requires psychological comfort and privacy and opportunities in an intimate setting for everyone.

In the "public" as part of modern apartment different functional areas can be designated (this word means both separation and integration) with different, creative techniques. Methods of separation, consolidation, and transformation of the living space are many and varied (Hepworth 1999, 17).
