Anatomy of the House Exhibition Catalogue

Anatomy of the House

Anatomy of the House focuses on an aspect of architecture that, although relevant and accessible to everyone is often overlooked - the Scottish house. This catalogue was produced in association with an online Anatomy of the House exhibition, which  looks at five housing types: Croft, Castle, Settlement, Urban and Suburban, from both a historical and contemporary perspective.
Over the past five centuries the modern Scottish 'home', as we know it, has gradually emerged. This notion of the 'home' as a private, self-contained entity, used mainly for domestic life has manifested itself in a variety of architectural forms and settings. The thatched croft, turreted castle, high rise flat, tenement block and suburban villa are all familiar images of the Scottish house.

So, how do our homes measure up today, and what does the future look like holding?
