Examining the relationships between architecture, home and
community in the Claremont Court housing scheme in Edinburgh, Home
and Community provides a novel perspective on the enabling
potential of architecture that encompasses physical, spatial,
relational and temporal phenomena. Based on the AHRC funded project
"Place and Belonging", the chapters draw on innovative spatial
layouts amid Scottish policymakers' concerns of social change in
the 1960s, to develop theoretical understandings between
architecture, home, and community. By approaching the discourse on
home, and by positioning the home at the confluence of a network of
sociocultural identities bound by spatial awareness and design, the
writers draw on sociological interpretations of cultural
negotiation as well as theoretical underpinnings in architectural
design. In so doing, they suggest a reinterpretation of the
facilitating role of architecture as sensitive to physical and
socio-cultural reconstruction. Drawn from interviews with
residents, architectural surveys, contextual mapping and other
visual methods, Home and Community explores home as a construct
that is enmeshed with the architectural affordances that the
housing scheme represents, that is useful to both architecture and
sociology students, as well as practitioners and urban planners.
