homeologists

Homeologists are individuals who dedicate themselves to the study and understanding of homes. This field encompasses a broad range of disciplines, from architecture and interior design to sociology, psychology, and even environmental science, all focused on the dwelling as a central subject of inquiry. Homeologists may explore the historical evolution of housing, the cultural significance of domestic spaces, or the impact of home design on human behavior and well-being.

The practice of homeology is not tied to a single academic discipline or professional certification. Instead, it represents a multidisciplinary approach to comprehending the multifaceted nature of "home." This can include examining how people interact with their living environments, the psychological comfort and identity associated with a home, and the functional aspects of domestic architecture. Some homeologists focus on the practicalities of creating ideal living spaces, while others are more concerned with the theoretical underpinnings of what makes a house a home. Their research can inform urban planning, housing policy, and the design of more habitable and sustainable communities. The term itself suggests a deep and analytical engagement with the concept of home.
