“The house is a site, the shelter for a household, the bounds and the focus of a community. It is also an artifact, a product of human manufacture, a material expression of its occupants’ lives. In the modern era, however, (the) principles that relate the house and family in widely recognised and accepted ways begin to break down. Modernity destabilizes, relocates, and reinvents community at every level of society. It dislodges material and practical forms from their local vernaculars and releases them into the market. Geographical and social mobility threaten the stablility of multi-generational households, at the same time bringing in to question distinctions in within the house that had previously only seemed natural.” Jordan Sand, 2003
