It began with a shelter, the first 'building', a safe environment for a family named by us as a home. However, with the change of technology, lifestyle, work and social life throughout history, the values of a home environment changed. From a public space in society (archaic time) to a space for privacy (industrial time), where families live independently. In the 21st century, also called the information society, the values of home are still developing by acting socially in our society. Technical devices are introduced in our lives, which create a whole other set of values for our home. We are spending more time inside, and because of COVID video communication has developed its way into our daily lives. COVID has in fact accelerated the process of acceptance for video communication. How does this have an impact on our private and public boundaries in a home environment?
