The book follows the processes of subdivision that produced enclosed domestic space, and the habits and customs that underpin today's idea of privacy—an idea that took hold in the home only relatively recently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is structured in three parts: a critical introduction to the idea of the room, a chronological atlas of floor plans of exemplary rooms from the Epipaleolithic period to the present, and a sequence of 48 perspectival drawings of historically significant rooms. The project was developed for the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA critical introduction to the room as a historical construct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA chronological atlas of room plans from the Epipaleolithic period to the present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48 perspectival drawings of historically significant rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloped for the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the subdivision of domestic space produced the private room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between architecture, privacy and social custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow room layouts have encoded differences of gender and class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the possibility of being alone is a condition of living together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDogma is a Brussels-based architecture studio founded by Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara in 2002.
