Living Alone, Living Together by Peter King

This book considers how a dwelling can protect and promote both our anxieties and our relationships. Both essays use a non-traditional literature to explore being alone and being with others, rather than relying on the social science literature, and offer a distinct and original contribution to the housing studies literature.
King provides two essays on the use of private dwellings by their occupants, by drawing on his own experiencesIn the first essay, he describes living inside one’s head as a subjective space, detailing what occurs in his head, particularly with anxiety and depression, and in the second, he considers how people live together, and the issues of privacy and exclusion. -- Annotation ©2017 * (protoview.com) *
