Interested in the American Family (also the non-american family/other cultures' approach to the home)
:: the family unit - what does it look like? # of children, parents, relatives?
:: how does the "home" (built structure) play a role in this? is it clean, comfortable, safe, space for leisure?
:: what about the structure of the home? location, neighbors, apartment, house, homeless?
this thesis should address a larger social issue :: provide a solution to a problem that with out a change in design could not be attained --
Study the "First Place" -- being home
2nd place - work
3rd place - leisurely: panera, coffee, church, etc.
:: how can we redevelop the home to change the way higher parts (other parts) of society function?
what if people actually wanted to go home? if it wasn't a constant chore to keep the house/structure operating safely?
:: lower maintenance homes to encourage time w. people, family, friends -- building relationships.
:: Bill Strickland - Manchester Craftsman's Guild -- a built environment that chances social constructs here
what is a social construct? one that needs change? how to define "good change"?
