Home Workshop

Opening context:
House Cluster, Your Own Home, Scattered Work, Network of Learning, Men and Women

Conflict

As the decentralisation of work becomes more and more effective, the workshop in the home grows and grows in importance.

Resolution

Make a place in the home, where substantial work can be done; not just a hobby, but a job. Change the zoning laws to encourage modest, quiet work operations to locate in neighborhoods. Give the workshop perhaps a few hundred square feet; and locate it so it can be seen from the street and the owner can hang out a shingle.

Closing context:
Light on Two Sides of Every Room, Workspace Enclosures, Opening to the Street, Sunny Place, The Shape of Indoor Space
