Conflict

As the decentralisation of work becomes more and more effective, the workshop in the home grows and grows in importance.

Resolution

Make a place in the home, where substantial work can be done; not just a hobby, but a job. Change the zoning laws to encourage modest, quiet work operations to locate in neighbourhoods. Give the workshop perhaps a few hundred square feet; and locate it so it can be seen from the street and the owner can hang out a shingle.

May contain Light on two sides of every Room (159), Workspace Enclosures (183), Opening to the Street (165), Sunny Place (161), The Shape of Indoor Space (191).
