Home for LivingHome For Living is what your house might be doing when you go away on vacation. When you bought your brand new house did you feel a sense of elation? A sense of accomplishment, a bit of gratification? Modern architecture calls for cheap and synthetic materials. A house is no longer made of native materials, only foreign. What began with Le Corbusier, Utrect, the Bauhaus, "L' Espirit Nouveau", "De Stijl", even "neo-plasticism", has ended with over specialization, standardization and mass production. A house is a machine for living in. There is a certain mystique to the machine. The death of community began with the birth of TV.
