Dreams of home – the illusive sanctuary.
A place of the mind and heart – of poetics,
deeply rooted in personal memory.
Cells recall the womb’s delight – genetics!
Searching good ground is evolutionary.
Archetypes of home survive through memetics.
Social constructs passing through generations,
resisting change – driven by aspirations.
Dreaming Home (18/2/2016) in Design Shifts, a poetic journey through post-normal times.
Inspired by my architectural practice and Gaston Bachelard’s book: “Poetics of Space”.
