2.1 Documenting Student Homes Team (DSHT)2.1.1 Executive Summary DSHTs role was to document how students in shared homes lived through

photographs and recorded interviews. The information collected by DSHT formed

the foundation of the project and was used by all other teams.

Each DSHT member was assigned a particular role:o Hannah Brown: Team Leader and Interviewer.o Chao-Chieh Wu: Interviewer and Reportage Photographer. The latter

responsibility was limited to DSHT related tasks.

o Riccardo Fazzalari: Interviewer, Audio Recorder, and AssistantPhotographer.

o Li Wang: Project Photographer. Li Wang was responsible for taking allstudent home documentation photographs, as well as overall project

reportage photographs. (see appendix 2.1.3)

In January 2012, DSHT recruited participants among the friends and contacts ofstudents involved in the project. Finding willing participants was difficult, as was

scheduling times when all participating housemates were available. The process

was time-consuming and it enabled DSHT to develop diplomatic communication

skills. DSHT recruited a total of fourteen participants from four different student

houses. (see appendix 2.1.4)

DSHT developed consent forms authorising project members to exhibit theparticipants personal stories in the web resources and museum exhibition.

DSHT generated a detailed and precise documentation plan outlining specific tasksand timelines. The documentation of each household took between three to four

hours. (see team progress reports appendices 3.1.3 and 3.1.4)


5/48


From mid to late February, DSHT visited the homes of willing participants toundertake group and individual interviews, and collected data relevant to the UCL

project and GMs archival project. (see appendices 2.1.5 & 2.1.6)

DSHT produced back-up discs of the collected data, as well as extra copies for WRTand ET.

On February 28th, DSHT attended a handover meeting with PMT, WRT and ET todiscuss the collected data, the emerging themes, the restrictions on the use of data,

and the sensitive issues of exhibiting data of a personal nature collected from living

individuals. (see appendices 2.1.8 2.1.11)

DSHT sent each participant summaries of the relevant data selected by WRT and ETvia email in order to solicit input. DSHT, ET, and WRT were keen not to portray the

participants in an unfavourable light. Participants were contacted multiple times as

the project unfolded: among the few that replied, the feedback was very positive.

Care was taken not to overload the participants with e-mails.

DSHT produced consent forms authorising the accessioning of collected data in theGMs Documenting Homes Collection.

DSHT accessioned selected data in the GMs Documenting Homes Collection. Eachteam member was responsible for a single household. (see appendices 2.1.12 and

2.1.13)

o Hannah Brown: Tower Hamletso Chao-Chieh Wu: Islingtono

Riccardo Fazzalari: Barnet

o Li Wang: Camden A Collections Description, a Persons Record spreadsheet, and a Collections Record

for each household accompanied the accessioned data. The Persons Record


6/48


spreadsheet included private information; it was only submitted to and held

securely in the GMs archives, subject to their policies which comply with the Data

Protection Act of 1999.

2.1.2 Content SummaryDSHT collected different data types including photographs, film, audio recordings, and floor

plan drawings.

In order to observe the level of interaction in the flat, DSHT filmed the participants in group

interviews. Individual participant interviews were recorded using audio only. DSHT later

compiled the information and wrote abstracts of each interview highlighting the key

themes for quick reference.

The Project Photographer and Reportage Photographer, Li Wang and Chao-Chieh Wu,

captured images in each flat of participants bedrooms and their personal objects, as well as

shared spaces such as the kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and living room. Finally, DSHT

requested that each participant draw a floor plan of their flat.

2.1.2.1 Collected DataDSHT collected the following information from each household:

Photographs by Li Wang (Project Photographer) including:o Private space/bedroomso Personal objectso Shared spaces: kitchen, living room, shower room, and toileto Kitchen cupboards and fridgeo Participants, individually and in groupso Participants preparing food

Floor plans drawn by each household memberFor sample photographs, see appendix 2.1.7

2.1.2.2 Tower HamletsThis Tower Hamlets flat in East London houses five postgraduate students. An ex-council

building, it contains four bedrooms including a converted living room a small kitchen,

and a separate toilet and bathroom. The fourth bedroom, however, is still being used as a

living room, equipped with a sofa and coffee table.

Four students took part in the group interview, while only three were interviewed

individually. This is because the fourth participant arrived later. Although DSHT aimed to

reschedule his individual interview, this did not occur due to conflicting schedules. The

participants nationalities include: English, French, American, and German. Each student

has lived or travelled in a foreign country; this facet is reflected in the content of their flat.

The participants are all good friends and have known each other for several years; most

lived together beforehand. They are very comfortable around each other and know each

others routines.

The participants stated that there were no explicit flat rules; rather each roommate is

responsible for cleaning his own space. Necessities such as toilet paper are purchased as

needed.

The participants indicated thathome was a place they felt comfortable, rather than

somewhere with their family. They claimed that they felt at home in this particular flat as

all roommates got along so well.

2.1.2.3 IslingtonThis Islington flat houses four Chinese postgraduate students from different regions. The

flat spreads over two floors: on the ground floor is a kitchen, a bedroom, and a storage

area; two further bedrooms are located in the basement.

While two of the participants form a couple, the remaining pair did not know each other


8/48


prior to moving into the flat. All tenants located the property through the landlords posted

advertisement. The flat is dotted with Chinese themed decorations, including a flag, but the

students informed DSHT that these belonged to the previous tenants who were also

Chinese.

As the flatmates did not know each other beforehand, they live, cook and entertain

separately, and respect each other's private lives. However they do help each other when it

is necessary and talk on occasion. The participants stated that they did not regard this

house as a home but as a temporary accommodation or student dormitory.

2.1.2.4 Camden

The Camden flat houses six individuals; only three students participated in our project. Itcontains a small kitchen, a bathroom, and three bedrooms.

The participants consisted of a Vietnamese couple who share a single room and a Maltese

woman who shares a second room with her non-student partner. This latter room is quite

large; most objects found within the room belong to her partner, while the furniture

belongs to the landlord.

The room occupied by the Vietnamese couple is very small and does not contain much

decoration as they have not lived there for long. The three participants believed they had

created a home together.

2.1.2.5 BarnetThis Barnet flat located in North London houses three PhD students; an English man and

two Italians (one man and one woman). It is larger than the other flats DSHT visited; it

contains a dining room with a sofa-bed (guest room), a living room equipped with a

television where the students spend most of their time, a large kitchen, a laundry room,

two bathrooms, and four bedrooms.

As the Italian participants have already lived in the flat between three to four years, their

rooms are well decorated and contain many objects. On the other hand, the English


9/48


participant moved into the flat in September 2011; he has not yet decorated his bedroom.

The participants being PhD students are older than the projects primary target audience.

This fact is reflected in the flats cleanliness and decoration scheme.

2.1.2.6 Key Themes Identified2.1.2.6.1 Technology

During the interviews, participants discussed the importance of technology in their student

lives especially as they currently reside outside their parental home. Several participants

store their photos of family and friends on their personal computers rather than printing

them, thus reducing the amount of objects they bring with them.

Participants stated that technology brought the roommates closer together enabling them

to spend more time as a household; examples include the television in Barnet, and the

projector in Tower Hamlets.

2.1.2.6.2 NegotiationDSHT found that negotiation methods varied among the different flats according to how

well the participants knew each other.

Tower Hamlets participants claimed that they did not require specific rules in regards to

the use of the shared space because they knew each other quite well. The bathroom and

kitchen would eventually be cleaned, necessities such as toilet paper were purchased as

needed, and each roommate was responsible for tidying his/her own personal space.

In Camden, on the other hand, shared space is carefully negotiated. The participants

alternate sharing the kitchen and are required to close the door when cooking in order to

avoid food smells dispersing within the flat.

2.1.2.6.3 Friendship


10/48


DSHT identified an important theme prevalent in many interviews: friendship. A number of

participants stated that living together enabled them to form strong bonds of friendship;

many considered their roommates as their closest friends.

During the interviews, DSHT discovered that pre-existing friendships made negotiations in

the flat easier; participants suggested that it made them feel more at home.

2.1.2.6.4 LiminalityMany participants identified their student home as a temporary space.

This concept was especially prominent in Islington where the students did not know each

other prior to moving into the flat.

In Barnet, one participant explained that he had yet to decorate his room due to moving

around so frequently; he failed to see a valid reason to spend the time and decorate his

room.

2.1.2.6.5 CookingDSHT identified that food and cooking was important to most participants.

In Islington, the students cook and eat Chinese food reminding them of home. Oneparticipant claimed that living in London, she now preferred Chinese food. During her time

in China, she frequently craved Western food, such as cake.

The tenants of Barnet and Tower Hamlets explained that they spend time together cooking

and eating.

2.1.2.6.6 LondonMany of the participants discussed the effects that London had on their lives, including

changes in food choice or daytime habits.

2.1.2.6.7 Personal Objects


11/48


Some participants brought personal objects to London making their house feel more like a

home, while others felt their personal objects connected them with their family and their

parental home.

APPENDIX 2.1.4 PROJECT RECRUITMENT EMAIL

DSHT composed the following letter in order to recruit participants for the project. Project

team members sent the letter via email to student friends and acquaintances that lived in

shared homes, as well as students in the UCL Institute of Archaeology. The email was

written to make clear what the participants would have to contribute, but also highlighting

what they would gain from taking part in the project. Although the email was quite specific,

DSHT were actually more relaxed in the households they chose.

Dear Students,

As part of the MA Cultural Heritage Studies Museum and Site Interpretation course we are looking

for participants to take part in a study for an exhibition at the Geffrye Museum. The Geffrye

Museum is the museum of the home and as part of the Cultural Olympiad, we are producing an

exhibition on the student home.

The exhibition is themed around the concept of the shared house, so we are looking

for student houses of 4 or 5 people who are all willing to take part. We would also prefer houses

with some international students, as we are looking at the way certain foods/behaviours/objects

make their way into the UK.

The participants would be required to do group and individual interviews, questionnaires and

allow photographs of their students homes and objects. The data collected is to be presented at the

museum and also kept in the museum archive.

Taking part in this exhibition gives the participants a chance to be in an exhibition in a national

museum, as part of the Olympics, and also have their data kept in the museum archive. Please

contact me through email ([email protected]) if you are interested in taking part.

Kind Regards

Photographs of shared and private spaces in the home (and home activities) by Li Wang

Floor plan of home drawn by each house member

Description of the student home

Flat of five postgraduate students in East London. The flat is in an ex-council building with

3 bedrooms and a living room which has been converted into a forth bedroom. There is a

small kitchen and a separate toilet and bathroom. The forth converted bedroom is still used

as a living room and has a sofa and coffee table in it. Three students were interviewed

individually and four took part in the group interview. Nationalities in the house include

English, French, American and German. Each have spent time in other countries apart from

their home countries and travelled a lot which is reflected in the contents of their flat.

The participants are all good friends and have known each other for several years. Most of

them have lived together before. They are very comfortable around each other and know

each others routines.

Restrictions of Material

The participants mention sub-letting a room out during the group interview which is a

sensitive issue, it was not mentioned if they had permission from the landlord.

Key information

Milkthe participants talk about sharing milk and other necessities (toilet roll, hand wash,

paper towels) with each other and that it is just bought when needed rather thanorganised. Milk is shared, however participants joked together about the American

participant buying a certain type of milk for himself and filling up the fridge with it.

Technology the participants start a discussion about what they do in the house together

and claim that most of their interaction revolves about the projector which they use to


19/48


project films and TV series on to a blank wall in the 4th bedroom which is also used as a

living room. They claim that the projector is the basis for their social interaction. They alsoall claim that they store most of their photographs of their family and friends on their

laptops rather than print them out.

Negotiationparticipant claimed that because they knew each other quite well they didnt

need to have any rules for the shared space, bathroom and kitchen got cleaned every now

and then and people took responsibility for their own mess. Cleaning just seems to happen

and everyone buys toilet roll when it runs out.

House of three PhD students in North London. Considerable dimension: a dining room with

a sofa bed used mostly for the guests, a living room whit television where they spend most

of their time when they are at home, a big kitchen, a laundry room, two bathrooms, 4

bedroom. The participants are an English man and two Italians. Another man lives there

but we didnt see him and he is not a participant. The room of the Italians contain many

objects, reflecting the long period of time in which they have lived there, 3-4 years. On the

contrary, the English participant moved there on September and his room is not decorated.

Considering that they are PhD students they are older than the target audience of our

project and we could see this fact reflected into the cleanliness and the tidiness of the flat.


None.


20/48


Key information

Three of the four flatmates are scientists and for this reason there are several objects

related to that topic: shower curtains with the periodic table, a sign of radioactive

material on the door of the men bathroom, a poster of what the Italian girl presented in an

official meeting posted in her bathroom, a soft toy of a yeast cell in the room of participant3.

The Italians buy most of the necessities because they have got a car.

When they have the chance they cook and they eat together, so mostly during the weekend.

An Italian flag is tied on the banister at the top of the stairs but its just a coincidence, which

can be heard in the group interview.

The living room is the place where they spend of the time together, eating or watching the

television.

Mention of a cleaning schedule, not respected.

They often host visitors for period of time which vary from a weekend to a month and a

half.

House of three students near Euston Station. The house has got a small kitchen, which is

the only shared space, and three bedrooms. The participants are a Vietnamese couple,

which shares a room, and a Maltese woman. The latter shares her room with her partner

(not participant). Another couple occupy the other room but they are not participants. The


21/48


room of the Maltese woman is quite big and full of objects but a lot of them belong to the

landlord. The room shared by the Vietnamese is little and not decorated because they

moved there last September.


The Maltese woman during the interview says that the landlord steals clothes from them,

when left to dry in the corridor. She also mentions the fact that the landlord comes very

often into the flat, even though he is not supposed to. (not sure if it something we can talk

about)

Key information

The flat reflect the style of the landlord, who is from Bangladesh

The three participants are close to each other and they dont need to negotiate the space:

they have no rules within each other

However, they have to close the door when cooking, because the other couple asked them

to

Participant 1 (Natasha Azzopardi) is the one who cleans, during the weekends

Participant 2 (Tuan Anh Nguyen) admits to have been very lazy, and that he now

contributes taking out the trash sometimes

They dont share necessities

The two women often cook together, but they dont eat together because P.1 is very busy

and she prefers to go into her room so that she can study

Sometimes the Vietnamese couple goes to buy food in a Vietnamese area in London

Visitors? Not enough space. However they talk about an Unwanted visitor, which is the

landlord, who comes every day and he uses the kitchen

They think they have created a sort of home together, with P.1 considered by P.2 and 3 as

an older sister who gives them advice. P.1 agrees (my impression is that she agrees only to

some extent) and considers nice to have conversations and to relate with different cultures.

4. Floor plan of home drawn by each house memberDescription of the student home

A house of four Chinese postgraduate students near Caledonian Road. This house is a two

floors house, including a kitchen, a bed room and storage on the ground floor and two

bedrooms in the basement.

These students all come from China, but from different regions. Among them, Qian and her

boyfriend left for London to study together. On the other hand, they did not know each

other before they moved in. They contacted individually with the same Chinese agent. Last

tenants are also Chinese. Hence some decorations and equipment such as a flag whether itis brought by participants or left from last tenants all reflect this context in this house .

They live, cook and entertaining separately and respect each other's personal live, but will

help each other when it is necessary and talk sometimes.


It seems that Yiyuan does want to let people know he like to go to parties.

Key information

Background- They all come from China, have the same background and habits. For

instance, speaking Mandarin and cooking rice for meals. They do not feel any difference

between each other.


23/48


Rice cooker- Three of the participants brought the rice cooker from China to London. Even

the functions are similar and they all put them in the kitchen, participants indicate that

they will prefer to use their own cooker and storage it after using.

Flat rule- They do not have any specific flat rule, however, they separate different section in

cupboard and refrigerator unintentionally. Besides, if someone is using the kitchen, otherswill wait in their room until he/ she finishes.

Food- Some of food are post from China or bought from China town. Since they come from

different region of China, they sometimes communicate and change recipes with each

other.

Home Feeling- they do not regard this house a "home", but a temporary house or student

dormitory.

APPENDIX 2.1.9 HANDOVER MATERIAL PARTICIPANT SUMMARIESTOWER HAMLETS - JACK

Collection from Tower Hamlets Student House, Participant Jack (Documenting StudentHomes Project 2011-12)

Material Collected

Sound recording of and abstract of individual interviews

Photographs of personal objects, private and shared space by Li Wang

Floor plan of home

Description of the Participant

The participant is a male postgraduate student at LSE studying Economic History.

Jack is British but lived in France for 10 years with his mother before moving back to the UK tostudy his undergraduate degree in London. He also had a year abroad while studying him

undergraduate degree in Czech Republic. Jack suggests that his idea of home is more abstract

that most people as he no longer has a family home and therefore he sees home as a place

where he is comfortable. He doesnt have many personal objects except photo albums whichcontain memories of his childhood and relationships he has had.

Jacks bedroom is also used as the living room and has a sofa and coffee table in it, he doesntmind people using the room as long as he isntsleeping or studying. He enjoys sharing a flat.


The participant mentioned that one of the rooms was sublet; this is a sensitive area as we arenot sure if the landlords permission was requested.

Key information

Food definitely eats differently than when he is with his parents, both his mum and step-

mum are excellent cooks and make big dishes. He doesnt try and copy them as his usually eats

alone and finds cooking for one person quite uninspiring. Usually eats pasta, meat with

vegetables or chicken and rice. He thinks that having a nice, big meal makes him feel at homerather than personal objects.

Objects Jack suggests that he doesnt decorate his room or move objects from home to home,

objects in his room tend to be things that he accumulates over the time he lives there and theyoften get left behind. For instance, the posters in the room are impersonal, bought this year to

cheer the room up. Things that he does tend to keep, such as photo albums, are objects from thepast and do not reflect his personality.


25/48


ComfortJack thinks that the thing that makes him feel the most at home is being comfortable.

Having a comfy bed and time to relax. He doesnt view a particular home but people that he

feels comfortable with.

The participant is a female postgraduate student of Politics. She is studying in France but

currently undertaking a work placement in the UK.

Sophie is French and has only been living in London for one month. She took a year abroad

at the University of Pennsylvania, in the United States of America and claims to have been

influenced by the year in America in her dress sense, food choice and music to an extent.

She only moved into the flat one month ago to live with boyfriend, Sebastian, however she

had known the other flatmates before she moved in. As Sophie is only going to be in

London for a couple of months she didnt bring many things with her from her home and

admits that most of the decoration is Sebastians.


The participant mentioned that one of the rooms was sublet; this is a sensitive area as we

are not sure if the landlords permission was requested.

Key information

Found Objects Sophie has objects that remind her of particular memories, in this room,

she has collected a few things since she moved here that she found interesting or funny,

rather than bringing a lot of objects with his. There include newspaper clippings, postcards

and flowers. Normally she would have photos albums as well but at the moment all her

photos are on her laptop.

Food Lots of pasta and soup at the momentshe says she is not very adventurous. She

also eats out more here as its much cheaper that Paris and better for cheap student food.

She keeps suggesting that they make a French meal in the flat but they just havent gotround to it yet and the ingredients would be a bit more expensive in London.

People Sophie suggests that it is the people who make her feel more at home in the flat

rather that being in a particular place. She is with her boyfriend and good friends and

everyone has made her feel very comfortable.

Collection from Tower Hamlets Student House, Participant Sebastian (Documenting

Student Homes Project 2011-12)

Material Collected

Sound recording and abstract of individual interviews Photographs of personal objects, private and shared space by Li Wang Floor plan of home


The participant is a male postgraduate student at LSE studying Development Management.

Sebastian is from Germany but has been living in the UK for a number of years both with

his parents and at University. He studied his undergraduate degree in London and his

parents currently live near Oxford. He has travelled widely around the world and during

his undergraduate degree did a year abroad in the United States of America at the

University of Pennsylvania. His interest in travel can be seen in his decoration, such as a

large wall world map, and postcards from around the world.

Sebastian is currently living with his girlfriend Sophie, who moved in about a month ago.

This has had a change in some of his behaviours, such as eating.

He liked to share a flat and to have other people around him when he gets home to talk to.

The participant mentioned that one of the rooms was sublet; this is a sensitive area as we

are not sure if the landlords permission was requested.

Key information

Food changed since Sophie moved in as now he has to accommodate her tastes. Lessspicy food as Sophie doesnt like it as much although he admitted that Mexican food is his

favourite cuisine. Tends to buy food from the reduced section of the local Tesco which he

goes to because it is cheap and sometimes hold inspiration if unsure what to cook. Big

difference between eating in student home and at parents home is that he eats out more in

London, as there is a bigger choice of cheaper meals out.

Record Player Mentioned in passing as an object he wouldnt take into the shared spaces

of the flat because it might get broken easily. It is also an object that came from his home

(going to contact participant to find out more about the story of the record player).

Posters/Postcards He suggests that these are the biggest indicators of his identity in the

room. World map which can be scratched off to show were he has been, posters of his

favourite books, postcards from him girlfriends when she lived abroad. Show little

memories.

28/48


Key information

Home for him is the one of his parents in Middlesbrough.

In the last 5-6 years he has lived in a different house each year, so he didnt want to

decorate them, never want to settle because he knew there were temporary. But he feelsthat this house is the most home he has been, so hes planning to decorate the room.

He likes to live with other people but he also likes the fact that his flatmates arrive at home

like 2 hours later so hes got some time on his own.

He has got a Christmas card on the desk his girlfriend gave him and many books.

The most relevant object related to his identity is a cup from Barnes and Noble an ex-

girlfriend gave him, with the picture of a lot American writers he likes to read.

He has lived 2 months in New Mexico and 2 months in Italy. Henceforth, he started eatingand preparing himself Italian food.

For some reason he brought a knife, a fork and a spoon from his home and he likes to that

cutlery because it kinda feels like home when he uses them.

When he has got time or just want to relax he likes to cook a stew or a soup in the way his

mother and his grandmother do, buying the vegetables at Lidl, like his mother does.

Italian. PhD in Biochemistry/Molecular biology. Moved in the flat in 2009.


None.


29/48


Key information

She decorates her room with postcards from places and exhibitions she visited creating a

kind of mosaic (quote).

She needs to have an espresso every morning and she loves the smell of it.

She loves cooking: especially Italian dishes, pasta in particular, but also Thai food and

noodles, something that she has started to eat since she moved to London.

She lived for three months in Spain, but apart from the fact that she likes it, theres no

influence still visible on her present life: she said that living in Spain is very similar than

living in Italy so she cannot distinguish the difference.

She brought only the espresso cups from Italy (too expansive in London) and when she

goes home she takes back some typical pastries called Pasticciotti. Sometimes her parents

send her a particular handmade jelly she loves. I would like to stress the moment in theinterview in which she mentions the word Pasticciotti because you can hear how in love

she is with this specialty, and it seems to me that for her has a value which goes beyond the

food itself.

Talking about the impact of London on her life, she mentions the fact that she used to live

in a small city in Italy, so she misses the opportunity to go out without worrying about the

distances and without spending too long to reach her friends. On the other side, she loves

the chance to see many gigs, as she has done many times during the years, of band which

would never play in her hometown.

Although nothing of the things discussed makes her really feel like at home because her

lifestyle in the hometown is a way too different to compare it with her life in London, she

likes to have long lunches (many dishes) on Sunday with other Italians, as it is a tradition

in the South of Italy where she is from originally.

Italian. PhD in Biochemistry/Molecular biology. Moved in the flat in October 2009.


None.

Key information

Home for him its a nice place to rest after a hard day working

He likes to decorate his room and we could observe that from the amount of objects in his

room. He said that he keeps everything he considers funny. It makes him feel more

comfortable

His identity and personal taste is reflected by the objects related to music (guitar, ukulele,

gigs tickets) and from things related to his work (a poster of a seminar he gave, a soft toy of

yeast cell-not mentioned in the interview though).

He keeps a personalized calendar from the 2009 made by a friend of him with a lot of

photos of him and his friends.

The true value (quote) hes taking from London is that here you can live like you want

and no-one judges you, unlike in Italy occurs.

He doesnt cook that much because he says is too lazy to do it. Also, he doesnt consider the

food you can have outside so good, but its cheap and sometimes he eats in ethnicrestaurants.

Something that makes him feel like at home is having a meal together with his flatmate,

even ordering pizzas, as long as they eat together

None.

Key information

Home is where you feel safe and you can relax, but it is also related to the family

Eating Vietnamese food and staying with his girlfriend makes him feel like he is in Vietnam

He told us that apart from that he doesnt behave like a Vietnamese: he used to hate kebab

and curry, now he loves them, he likes to eat fish and chips, and almost every Sunday he

has the roast

His trip in Singapore made him reflecting about the difference with such an innovative

country compared to Vietnam, considering that they are neighbours. He decided to study

English and live his life more positively

He has some objects from Vietnam, but he keeps them in the luggage, because at the

beginning he was supposed to stay for a short period of time in that flat, so he found

pointless to decorate his room. Thats why now they are still there, but when he misses

home he takes them out

He didnt bring any kitchen equipment or food to London

Once a month he goes to some Vietnamese shop in the North of London to buy Vietnamese

food and he stores it

APPENDIX 2.1.10 HANDOVER SAMPLE INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEW ABSTRACT

Tower Hamlets Individual Interview Abstract Jack (UCL Documenting Student

Homes Project 2011-12)

What does home mean to you?

Where my bed is where sleep at nightDo you enjoy sharing a flat?

Yes, enjoy it, feel very comfortableDo you decorate your room in a particular style?

Not really mainly with impersonal objects found throughout the year not setdecoration as it comes throughout the year.

Objects that find interesting not personal move around a lot what accumulatein the year.

Some objects do move with me but some get left - it depends what they are.Have you go any special personal objects?

Objects that are from the past, they not reflect personality more special objectsthat have some significance

Things to remind me of memories rather than personality For example I carry a lot of photos with me photo albums take them with me

and them keep with me, old photos from the past which I feel attached to me when

I was young.

Dont look through it regularity but its there and its nice to have it there.Are there any behaviours that reflect your background?

Not cooking. Being comfortable cant live without comfortable basics being warm and

comfortable lounging in dressing gown with hot chocolate.


40/48


Tell us about your time spent abroad:

10 years growing up in France with mother. 1 year in Czech Republic as part of a study abroad program. I dont have a sense of where home is home is where I sleep because having

travelled around a lot therefore I dont have a place in mind and a location that ishome. Feeling always moving now and very comfortable with that idea.

To some extent the French idea of home does affect me - more sense of family inthe UK people are more independent - in France life more social and familyorientated - in England it is a more individual experience.

What about eating and other behaviours?

Other countries have changed my behaviours a lotFirstly, English background has affected the way I live but France has changed me

more culturally cooking, food, music.

Would you put any personal objects in the shared spaces?

Not really, probably not maybe a few books. My bedroom is kind of a shared space too but in other rooms (like the kitchen),

natural instinct is not to shared my stuff throughout the flat.

Wouldnt bring very personal things letters and photographs, family photos intothe shared space.

Did you bring anything from your parents home?

Only really practical things from parents things that were needed for the kitchenand bathroom.

Also lots of books Dad and I share lots of books I am always bringing them backand forth

Also music and things that I would need throughout the year Not a lot of personal objects tend to have photos and messages or funny items that

remind me of something cinema tickets etc more about missing particularrelationships or time in the past rather the physical home more abstract.


41/48


What about the posters on your walls?

Posters are very impersonal not much connection with them bought at start ofthe year just something to put up thought they would make people think of the

guys who lived here. The others are from my girlfriend who wanted to brighten upthe room.

There are also things on the wall are all things that have happened to me this year,like cinema tickets.

Whats your typical meal?

Typical meal would be pasta or meat (chicken or pork) with vegetables or chickenand rice those are my three main favourites.

Eat in here (bedroom/living room) usually sometime with flatmates if they cook atthe same time, either on the sofa or bed.

I definitely eat differently from my parents homes. My mum is an excellent cook andcooks big meals for all of us, like pies or stews.

I dont try and copy as I dont feel I have the time and cooking for one person feelsvery uninspiring.

Do you cook anything from your time spent abroad?

Not Czech food, but French food occasionally as its nice and good ingredients, likeFrench cheeses, lots of garlic. But mostly cook quite basic food.

Its not difficult to find French ingredients in London.Do you have any special cooking equipment?

I dont have special cooking things and also didnt buy plates/mugs brought fromparents home or were here already.

I share everything with flatmates.


42/48


What makes you feel more at home?

Having a nice meal makes me feel like Im at home. The personal objects I keep dont make me feel at home. But I have a more abstract concept of home good meal makes me feel like Im at

home with me mum but no objects make me feel at home.

Being at home and being comfortable - nice bed, big kitchen is homely but dontthink of one particular home.

APPENDIX 2.1.11 HANDOVER SAMPLE GROUP INTERVIEW ABSTRACT

Tower Hamlets Group Interview Abstract - Jack, Seb, Sophie and Ted

Living together

Jack and Seb have lived together before and they are very good friends with Ted,who was on year abroad in the US with Seb and Sophie. Sophie is Sebs girlfriend

and only recently moved in with them.

They also have a sub - letter as one of the permanent housemates is away for awhile.

Home contents of communal areas

They dont put many of their personal objects in the living room as it is also Jacksbedroom and the other flatmates do not want to invade his private staff with theirstuff.

One wall is deliberately left free for projecting films onto. There are not many things that reflect their background/home countries or

identities although they claim that Ted often has quirky American things around the

flat, such as a George Foreman Grill (which they dont use often) and fake Starbucks

cups, frozen margarita mix and protein shakes. Seb sometimes has German cakeswhen he has visited his parents. Jack also brings food back from his mothers house

is France, such as French cheeses.

The only thing that is always kept in the living room that doesnt belong to Jack isSebs guitar that is kept in the living room so they can all enjoy playing together.

Objects fit a style?

They see the flat as standard British type of student housing, weird cream colouredwalls of rented housing. They think the flat is quite normal for student housing in

London, lots of problem with it, including a mould problem in the bathroom and

Sebs room. The landlord painted over it with white paint so one wall doesnt matchthe others.

They maybe have a focus on the US in the flat such as the cooking things for Tedand US cultural things, such as West wing boxset.


44/48


Negotiate use of shared space

They are very close friends and are keen to share all the space in the flat with eachother in an easy way. They dont have much space and Jack is happy to let the othersuse his room as a living room, even when he is in there. Most of the time, except

when he is sleeping, he is fine to have people there.

They have no rules in the shared space, they all use the showers at different times,and it works well. There isnt enough space in the kitchen to argue about it,

everyone just takes their turn. There are no flat rules, as they have never really

found it necessary to talk about it. Things seem to work quite well, the rubbish isjust taken out.

They said it might be more awkward if they werent such good friends but they areall used to each other and know each others routines.

Soap and toilet paper is just bought, rather than discusses, although sometimes theyend up with many rolls of toilet paper.

Cleaning

Cleaning is the same it is never discussed, just happens. Each person takes care oftheir own patch and they all take a care not to make the living room too dirty.

Sometimes they will have a group session in the kitchen and clean it really well.

Cleaning justseems to have and didnt divide itup methodologically.

They tend to share milk, although Ted buys skimmed milk and no one else seems touse it they joked about ted taking up the whole fridge with large bottles of milkthat no one else wants.

The doors to peoples rooms are usually open and its easy to go in and talk to eachother if doors are closed they knock and if they dont hear anything they try again,they have very good communication.

Objects

They dont really leave personal objects in the kitchen but they have decorated thefridge.

They claim this is to make it look a bit nicer and it also reflects common memories. At one point they realised they hasnt decorated the hallway or the kitchen, and Seb

has a few posters left over so they added then, the some postcards and finally some

Labour propaganda from Jack.


45/48


Fridge

The fridge is not organised in any particular way, everything just lets put in andoften forgotten and it gets cleaned out.

Shopping

They dont cook together often but they eat together a lot when they are all in thehouse together. Such as having breakfast and burgers. It mainly happens when theyare all in the flat together and someone has an idea for a meal.

Shopping

Most of the flatmates shop at the local Tesco express and use the reduced to clearsection. Seb and Sophie buy food together and share but the others buy separately.

Ted often does an online shop which gets delivered to the flat.Entertainment

When they spend time together it is generally in the living room and they oftenwatch films and TV series on the projector. They joke that the projector holds them

together. They sometimes play the guitar together. And they often used to play

basketball downstairs together but they dont do that in the winter as much.

Visitors

They see themselves as very social people and have friends from a number ofdifferent countries. Friends from around London often come by to say hello and they

have film nights. They also have their own friends round that others dont know aswell. If people stay over the night they have a blow up bed they can stay on.

They have no rules about visitors coming and they has never been any reason to setany, very one is respectful of the other people living in the flat.

There were some jokes about political opinions being a factor in allow people intothe flat.

They has a party the week before, although they tend to be pre-drinks before goingout rather than full blown parties so they dont annoy theyre neighbours.

They do think they have made a home together weirdly, as they call care about otherand they enjoy living with one another.
