This year's title of the conference - House or Home ? Ambiguity and redefinition concerns the changes taking place in the culture of the 21st century related to new readings of seemingly basic, well-known concepts of house, home, homeland, and the search for "one's place". It also refers to the issue of the growing interest in design, architecture and the new approaches to the idea of "home".
The following list contains some potential topics to be addressed in 20-minute paper presentations:
