Before the communication devices became portable, the physical boundaries of houses for single nuclear families in America organized the communication ties among the members of the family. Communication devices such as television, telephone, and computer were the centers of communication among family members in their homes. However, as communication devices have become more portable, the ties between family members and their houses have tended to become less strong.
Nowadays, communication within family members tends not to occur in the same space where it used to happen. New communication devices follow where each member of the families goes. This project seeks to investigate a new physical boundary for houses that explore these new communication ties within family members.
