Description Rooms is a story of our transition from mobility to sedentary lifestyles and the cultural, political, and economic changes we\'ve experienced.
This book is an exploration of the forces, processes, and methods in a newly constructed environment for a domesticated species of homo sapiens..
In psychological, political and social ways we have found ourselves paying a high rate interest imposed by a culture of room.
Staying in a fixed place came with a number of costs.
Roomsdescribe the processes that shaped and modified the necessity of personal movement to survive.
For millennia our world has been constructed from rooms and each generation tells a story of their experience in the never-ending, unsuccessful struggle to escape.
Over millennia, we gradually relinquished our traditional mobility by living in permanent rooms.
About 10, 000 years ago Agriculture hobbled us.
From our beginnings as a species our small bands were on the move.
Mobility runs deep in our evolutionary history.
The sedentary population ballooned, leaving billions housed in slums and millions homeless.
From creativity to commerce, our lives changed dramatically when we stopped moving.
From the time of hunter-gatherers to slum dwellers in Manila we have a long history that can be understood in terms of freedom of movement.
