Housefandango: "House Me Beautifully Honey." Hmm, We're in Global Distress. Housing, As About Us at Breakfast, is a Heart-throb in This Monte John Latham

This is about optimising our dwelling place. It?s about anything that relates you to our housing - people's housing; a phenomenon. Practical explanation and inspiration are shown through true-life romance, adventure and frustration. Design-fertiliser, colour, quantities, art, acts, whys and wherefores. Dweller balancing acts. Misconceptions, problems and paranoia will be resolved towards understanding. We're looking at technicality, psychology, budgets, evolution, lifestyle and brave moves. Housefandango; us on the move, keeping the looming ego of science under the intuitive wings of our rhythm. A multiperson romance as we dance, leaving only bio-tracks, on our earthy floor. A heart focus here is the huge activity interface bonding nomad and settler with domestic contraption; the activity of housing and the returning action of houses. HouseFandango is for serious home-makers, poorly housed underdogs, the genius compromised by accommodation, lifestylers, ecologists, sociologists, students, practitioners, those floundering on a mortgage tether, perplexed about the time and money costs of their house and its location. It brings the spirit of Henry Thoreau together with building regulations and synthetics. It contains a cousin to ?Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance?. The beautiful spirit-of-house works of Witold Rybczynski (?Home?) and Alain de Botton (?Architecture of Happiness?) offer no comparative breadth; a marketplace vortex is there to grasp HouseFandango. It is to the universal person but written to the popular West. General public, digest, architecture, sociology, politics, ecology, environment and fun. A couching of the science of housing, connecting the academic, the lay, the builder, engineer, artist, dweller, nomads, settlers and the in-between. Bobby, Little White Cloud, Global Pale and Cheekybugger. Encampments, mud huts, Hollywood Boulevard, cottages and dwelling machines.
