"People and the places where they reside are engaged in a continuing set of exchanges; they have determinate, mutual effects upon each other because they are part of a single, interactive system." - William S. Sax. This second call for submissions explores the spaces in which we dwell and reside. This collection dives into the concept of home and all that comes with it: the significance of a home, the emotional impact of home, people, places, and things that feel like home, the beauty of architecture, and more. Outlined below are a few discussion points that helped get the bulbs burning.
