Room 8: Main Hall (Inglenook)
The Inglenook at the Lougheed house was quite intriguing to me in it’s concept. It was a place where women were to go after arriving to change from outdoor wear to indoor wear such as outdoor gloves to indoor gloves as they could not show their bare skin in public. I found this space particularly interesting in light of recent events in the world pertaining to the control society assigns to women’s bodies and a perfect space to make a statement on oppression of women throughout history, the obstacles we still face and the weight on society that is caused by them.
