Homes used to be like a folding of the landscape itself, with many paths for walking, plants, animals, and lanes to link different villages. Beautiful spaces, the sort that make people feel joy when they occupy them. Compare that with modern suburbs, when seen from the air homes are obviously mostly garaging points of an extended roads and transportation network. We no longer occupy space, we’re always just moving through it to somewhere else. It’s why lockdown is such a torture for so many people, we aren’t grounded.
