I have been waiting for Philosophy of the Home. Coccia’s
reflections take you through the complexity of the notion of home –
not merely as a place, but as a space of philosophy, history,
politics, and art
*Hans Ulrich Obrist*
A precious guide … There is so much more at stake than the material
quality of a place for living … For us human beings, the house
represents the universe
*Chris Dercon*
An insightful book that illuminates the rooms you live in and makes
you understand what they mean
*la Repubblica*
A hymn of praise for the home
*Die Presse*
I absolutely DEVOURED this book and have been recommending it to
every architect and academic I know
*Jessica Helfand, a founding editor of Design Observer*
