Based on the latest scholarship and practice in the social sciences as well as design, this interdisciplinary text introduces a new design ethnography which offers unique and original approaches to research and intervention in the home.Presenting a coherent theoretical and methodological framework for both ethnographers and designers, the authors examine hot' topics  ranging from movements and mobilities to im\/material environments, to digital culture  and confront the challenges of a research and design environment which seeks to bring about the changes required for a sustainable, resilient, safe', and comfortable future.Written by leading experts in the field, the book draws on real-life examples from a wide range of international projects developed by the authors, other researchers, and designers. Illustrations throughout help to convey the methods and research visually.

Pink et al. brilliantly succeed in both illustrating the manifold complexities of home—\"\"making the familiar strange\"\"—and in portraying the home as a space for future-making. \u003ci\u003eMaking Homes\u003c\/i\u003e is relevant for a wide array of people, social scientists, architects and basically anyone who wants to know more about how we inhabit space. - Gareth Doherty, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, USA\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA landmark contribution to our understanding of home cultures and the emergent field of design ethnography. The authors rightly understand the home as a site of both habitual everyday life and change. Making Homes is essential reading for designers and researchers concerned with how we create better futures. - Philip Crang, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of FiguresList of AuthorsAcknowledgmentsSeries Preface: Why Home?Rosie Cox, Birkbeck, University of London, UK, and Victor Buchli, University College London, UK1.
