Abstract

“We shape our buildings-and they shape us,” a comment attributed to Winston Churchill, is applied to spatial arrangements of residential group care settings. The importance of private space is reviewed in terms of individuals' power, position and sense of identity with suggestions as to what can be done to apply such knowledge.
