Home Rules

by Denis Wood, Robert J. Beck

The authors use their varied backgrounds in design, environmental psychology and child development to explore one family's relationship to the built environment. By investigating the living room of a couple and their two children, they search for an understanding of every room as a cultural institution. Each object in the room is photographed in black and white, usually from a child's-eye view, and the rules surrounding its use are listed. No bibliography. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
