This workshop is organized by the Residential Environments and People working group. This year, the focus is on the relationship between people and dwelling/s from the perspective of the individual and the experience of home. There are many ways of experiencing home, including through dwellings. Dwellings - as physical units or as delimited spaces - and their features, communicate meaning and individuals attach meaning to dwellings through their daily practices. By acting, perceiving, evaluating, preferring, choosing, and valuing dwellings, individuals give information on the ways in which dwellings are used, shaped and reshaped, and on how a dwelling becomes a home. Theoretical and empirical papers on dwelling/s, the concept of home and the relationship between dwellings and home are welcome.
All enquiries about the workshop should be sent to Henny Coolen or Hélène Bélanger.
