• I went to a interesting academic talk a while back about how people interact with heating in houses. The speaker noted that the expectation that you could be warm everywhere in your house is a fairly modern conception and that in times past you'd have a warm spot by the fire and in the kitchen and a warm bed, but you didn't really dwell anywhere else. That's not to say that being cold is charmingly Dickensian (it's just shit if it's not of your choosing), but makes for some interesting thoughts about how we might use our living spaces in a different way.
