The metaphorical type of architecture that we have attempted to construct aims at viewing the types of objects within a house as linking knots in the web of the house, while the way in which these objects (be they ornaments or tools) are distributed in space reveals not only a character’s profession and/or personality (objects as extensions and projections of the self), but also indicates some kind of social hierarchy.<div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Find more at:</b></div><div><b>https://www.edusoft.ro/brain/index.php/brain/article/view/10</b><br></div
