Home + Bound: Narratives of Domesticity in Singapore and Beyond

by Melany Sun-Min Park, Lilian Chee, Kenneth Qibao Koh
Home + Bound: Narratives of Domesticity in Singapore and Beyond
Home + Bound: Narratives of Domesticity in Singapore and Beyond

Explores evolving domesticity in Southeast Asia's context.

If architecture and regional culture fascinate you, "Home + Bound" unpacks the concept of home in a uniquely Southeast Asian urban context. It's dense with theory but grounded in vivid local examples, making it a thought-provoking read for anyone curious about how space, history, and ideology shape our living environments. The blend of academic rigor and real-world analysis could provide fresh insights into the meaning of domesticity for you.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
