| Abstract |
In this paper we examine the relationship between privacy and the public space in the private house. Radical changes in the concept of privacy are paralleled both in terms of scope and pace by the transformation of the family and family life since World War II. Coupled with desired and achieved privacy levels, a series of social interaction cases through the public space in the private house are described involving satisfactory and unsatisfactory input-output relationships with others. The paper represents transformations of the invention of the private house in terms of contemporary influences. These are spatial and societal, such as changing family composition and increased numbers of people working at the private house. As the spheres of work and daily life are reintegrated, we can logically expect that the sharp distinctions between the traditional architectural types will continue to become less definitive. The cultural definition of the private house is undergoing great change, a transformation that, in itself, can generate significant architectural invention. |
