Individuals with Agoraphobia have difficulty leaving their houses, and restrict themselves to a zone of safety that can range in scale from a few blocks to a bed. This spatial condition emerged during the birth of the modern city, and cannot be separated from the critique that modernist space is produced for and by men, a transparency that is fraught with exclusion and anxiety. Known as the “housewives disease” 75 to 95 percent of suffers are women. Ultimately, it is the delicate relationship between space and self - the fear of loosing control over one’s body and one’s place in the world - that forces individuals into hermetically sealed spaces. Agoraphobics retreat inside their homes because it is a space they can control. The home is repeatedly described as both a haven and prison. The home becomes a sculptural foundation, thus connecting with high art- challenging modernisms disavowal of the domestic and decorative. 2009/01/14 - 08:38 PM | Tags: home, architecture, modernism
