public/private

There is a private (inside) and a public (outside). False. The outside is no longer. The house is an introverted, self-observing object.
There is a private (bedroom) and a public (kitchen/living room). Maybe.
Two families, each with their own private, each with their own public, create a third public. A common public to two different families. Is there an existing typology to describe this situation? What is domesticity without intimacy?






































"I wanna be stereotyped.
I wanna be classified.
I wanna be a clone.
I want a suburban home, suburban home, suburban home, suburban home.
I wanna be masochistic.
I wanna be a statistic.
I wanna be a clone.
I want a suburban home, suburban home, suburban home, suburban home.
I don't want no big hip pad. I want a house just like mom and dad.
I wanna be stereotyped.
I wanna be classified.
I wanna be masochistic.
I wanna be a statistic.
I wanna be a clone.
I want a suburban home,
suburban home,
suburban home,
suburban home,
suburban home,
suburban home,
suburban home."
