One of the commitments of modern architecture was to transform home living. Spaces were to be reviewed through new notions on use, fluidity, and transparency, often leading to formerly compartmentalized areas occupied by bulky furniture and pre-arranged compositions being opened up. In this way, some architects started experimenting with new arrangements, not only for single-family housing, but also in new apartment building configurations. This article, therefore, takes a perspective on two different but complementary home living experiments, by comparing Gio Ponti's Via Dezza apartment (Milan, Italy) and Paulo Mendes da Rocha's Butantã house (São Paulo, Brazil). Even though they come from different backgrounds and time periods, these works are similar in some of their fundamental principles, especially regarding the way they conceive the room. While designing their own home environments, these architects were able to freely express the essence of their ideas about home living. In both cases though, issues believed to be undeniable, such as privacy and intimacy, were treated in a very authorial way, sharing in common a particular way of interpreting the notion of the room.

这不是 [床] 房间

现代建筑的承诺之一是改变家庭生活。空间将通过关于使用、流动性和透明度的新概念进行审查，通常会导致以前被笨重的家具和预先安排的组合物占据的分隔区域被打开。通过这种方式，一些建筑师开始尝试新的安排，不仅适用于单户住宅，还适用于新的公寓楼配置。因此，本文通过比较 Gio Ponti 的 Via Dezza 公寓（意大利米兰）和 Paulo Mendes da Rocha 的 Butantã 住宅（巴西圣保罗），对两个不同但互补的家庭生活实验进行了展望。尽管他们来自不同的背景和时代，但这些作品在一些基本原则上是相似的，特别是关于他们构思房间的方式。在设计自己的家居环境时，这些建筑师能够自由地表达他们对家居生活的想法的精髓。然而，在这两种情况下，被认为是不可否认的问题，例如隐私和亲密关系，都以非常权威的方式处理，共同分享了一种特殊的方式来解释房间的概念。
