Seven fundamental pillars for a well-functioning home

Subscriber Access

Architecture is a complex and diverse discipline with multiple approaches and perspectives. Throughout history, numerous studies, theories, and treatises have emerged focusing on different architectural expressions. Vitruvius's treatise *De Architectura* is one of the oldest and most influential in the field, proposing that architecture is based on three fundamental principles: beauty, firmness, and utility. For a work to be considered truly architectural, there must be a balance between these three components. Moreover, other approaches, such as the five points of modern architecture, and more recent research, like Supra Order, enrich contemporary architectural theory.

While many architectural proposals take a general approach, more specific visions have recently emerged focusing on particular expressions, such as houses, which can be considered the most archetypal and diverse form of architecture. The proper functioning of a house is not limited to a single aspect; rather, it is a complex system involving various design and construction strategies, along with the use of different materials and architectural products, such as those developed by brands like Bostik. Below are seven essential pillars for a well-functioning house.
