Domus

Domus is the Persona module for home, household, dwelling, and domestic life: the intimate human habitat where bodies are sheltered, cared for, reproduced, repaired, and connected to wider social, technological, and Earth systems.

Domus studies the home as a human habitat: biological, social, technological, economic, and ecological.
