Aspects of Domestic Living in the Mass-Media Society
Aspects of Domestic Living in the Mass-Media Society

Summary/Abstract: Among the many challenges that contemporary housing architecture has to face, the development of digital media seems less topical, although it is one of the defining features of our society. However, as this paper tries to show, the media society could bring important changes in the way we design dwellings in order to answer people’s expectations from their homes - not luxury dwellings, but dwellings for the common inhabitant of the near future. The difficulty in tackling the estimated changes to housing comes from the fact that, not only each determining factor exerts an individual influence on the inhabited space, but rather it is their combination that triggers a series of changes, and their variations are innumerable.
