The Housing Facade Is Just A Facade

"Modern suburbia means one architecture for external walls, but an altogether different one inside, where we live. Why should this be so?"

"Visit new Vancouver suburban houses and you will see window designs resonating with European history."

"But inside, these houses are starkly modern. No embellishment is to be found, except for occasional touches around the front door or fireplace mantel. The interiors of our houses have become like modernist art galleries, neutral surfaces upon which we hang our lives, flat screens upon which we project the melodramas of our families."
