Zusatztext "The home is a familiar space, a place we inhabit in one form or another. Making Homes presents ways not just for observation of that space, but for projection too. Pink et al. brilliantly succeed in both illustrating the manifold complexities of home—""making the familiar strange""—and in portraying the home as a space for future-making. Making Homes is relevant for a wide array of people, social scientists, architects and basically anyone who wants to know more about how we inhabit space. - Gareth Doherty, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, USAA landmark contribution to our understanding of home cultures and the emergent field of design ethnography. The authors rightly understand the home as a site of both habitual everyday life and change.
