HOME now/then/next

Wednesday, December 18, 2024 12 Noon WPKN 89.5 FM wpkn.orgThe year is about to end. We are past COVID and the election. We are way beyond the awe of seeing our first Smart Phone, let alone the thrill of posting meaningless internet fodder. The advent of the 21st Century is old news.It is not yet the new year, new presidency, or anywhere near knowing how our culture will connect post lingering analog vestiges. We are more in between than most moments. But our humanity has not changed. We eat, sleep, love – and we all live somewhere.Our homes, where we live, are as constant as the rest our our culture is in transition. We may be urbanizing, we may be rejecting McMansions, we may be re-defining “family”, but we will always need a place to eat, sleep, wash and feel safe; The Home.So it’s a good time to think about Our Homes: and Home Page gathers voices from diverse voices who help create those homes. Steve Mouzon from Alabama, architect and co-founder of the Congress of New Urbanism architects and from Seattle Susan Ingham, of Building Beauty and John DeForest of DeForest Architects and architect Ross Chapin FAIA who wrote “Pocket Neighborhoods” also from Washington state all share the unique and unversal reality of the home in everyone’s life.
