Sometimes I wonder what people were thinking when they designed some buildings. Long spans of corridor are broken up by the occasional door and fire hazard door mat. The walls are bare of any sort of art and there is often a worn path in the carpet on the floor. It’s amazing to think of that people live behind those doors. Beyond that barrier they are free to decorate as they please, depending of course on the flexibility of their landladies and lords. However the communal space has no decoration. Maybe people are afraid that we will fight too much amongst ourselves. Design is a contentious issue.
