The History of Home
Unlock the door to an entertaining journey around the world to explore the past, present, and future of what makes our houses homes.
From the treetop nests of our 2-million-year-old relatives, to dank, fire-lit caves, from luxurious castles to the eco-homes of tommorrow - the history of humankind is deeply intertwined with the story of where, how, and why we build our homes. Throughout history, houses have varied drastically in function, scope, size, and design. Different forms reflected the society that built them, and styles were dictated by climate, available materials and technology mastery. As shelter evolved, the blueprints of our houses transitioned from communal halls into multi-roomed mansions. This series will discover the surprising histories and mysteries behind every room, and detail how these new spaces defined life, class, and culture.
