People’s homes and ways of housing are facing an unprecedented crisis today. All theories of space around which, in the last century, people’s housing needs have been structured, have been put into crisis by an unprecedented pandemic event. It opened our eyes to a dramatically already underway revolution but did not see with the right lenses. It began circa twenty years ago, but, due to the apparent generosity of some of its manifestations, and our inability to intuit the implications that, in the short run, would directly affect individuals and their everyday life, they have taken second place, entering the world of domestic architecture only as practices of a routine updating of the technical form of housing.Starting from these considerations, the essay wants to investigate how we think our homes has now reached a turning point. In order to correctly govern this process of transformation, it is necessary, on the other hand, to be able to isolate every phenomenon that concerns home living in its correct scale. Hence, identifying three main vectors of transformation to investigate the specific needs of a “home” must adequately meet individuals’ needs. Simultaneously, the essay highlights how our profound housing culture, masterfully codified over two millennia ago, has inexorably lost track of some fundamental paradigms that we are called to rediscover today.
