The Slow Home movement
Following the Slow Food movement’s recent expansion into the areas of urban planning (“Slow City“) and design (“Slow Design“), the newest Slow area are is the home. WorldChanging reports:
The newest slow kid on the block is the Slow Home movement, a web-based design community and resource library dedicated to taking residential architecture back from the grip of the “cookie cutter houses and instant neighborhoods” churned out by community-blind development corporations, to revive the presence of good design and empower individuals to create homes that will support and fulfill them for a long time. It’s a sustainable approach in that — like with all products — a commodity that is longlasting both in terms of material quality and evolving personal taste can prevent waste and produce trusting relationships between people and their environment.
