This book explores how the design characteristics of homes can
support or suppress individuals' attempts to create meaning in
their lives, which in turn, impacts well-being and delineates the
production of health, income, and educational disparities within
homes and communities. According to the author, the physical
realities of living space-such as how kitchen layouts restrict
cooking and the size of social areas limits gatherings with
friends, or how dining tables can shape aspirations-have a salient
connection to the beliefs, culture, and happiness of the
individuals in the space. The book's purpose is to examine the
human capacity to create meaning and to rally home mediators
(scholars, educators, design practitioners, policy makes, and
advocates) to work toward Culturally Enriched Communities in which
everyone can thrive. The volume includes stories from Hmong,
Somali, Mexican, Ojibwe, and African American individuals living in
Minnesota to show how space intersects with race, gender,
citizenship, ability, religion, and ethnicity, positing that social
inequalities are partially spatially constructed and are,
therefore, malleable.
