"Car la maison est notre coin du monde. Elle est – on l'a souvent dit – notre premier univers. Elle est vraiment un cosmos."
["For our house is our corner of the world. As has often been said, it is our first universe, a real cosmos in every sense of the word."]
Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space, 1958
If you find yourself thinking too logically or consciously, I recommend going down to the Barbican to see SURREAL HOUSE. As the title suggests, the exhibition is designed like a maison surréaliste furnished with an incredible collection of artworks. It is the first major exhibition to focus on the house within surrealism as well as the links between this movement and architecture. Starring: too many to mention - check the link above for more information.
