Home, the saying goes, is where the heart is. And while it’s a heartwarming proverb, it’s cold comfort to the billion-plus people in the world without adequate housing. Of course the definition of “home” goes beyond any physical space we build or choose for ourselves — it’s also a mental construction, a place of longing, an inviolable boundary between ourselves and the rest of the world. Which explains why we devote such considerable resources to our homes, sustaining entire industries in our efforts to protect them from intruders and the elements, make them safe for children, not to mention decorating them.
