Residential models and quality of life |
|
| |
The quality of life for an individual (excepting disasters), has always been determined by which basic style of residence they are able to obtain.
|
|
| |
For nine-hundred and fifty out of every one thousand human beings that have ever lived, this means being born into one of the basic residential models of being servants. It might be servants to a government system, a large corporation, a small business or relying on government benefits to survive.
|
|
| |
For the remaining fifty out of every one thousand human beings that have ever lived, the quality of life has always been substantially better as they were born into either a Lord (forty nine out of one thousand) and Ruler (1 out of every one thousand).
|
|
| 20.28.4 |
Residences and power |
|
| |
Human residences have always been related to an individuals power within the city community. A person of great power, whether by ownership of assets, birthright or election usually resides in a home based on a “ruler” residential model.
|
|
| |
In reflection of the person’s power and stature, their residence has usually been one of the largest of buildings in one of the most geometrically significant positions.
|
|
| |
This is why temples and churches have always been at the geometric heart of ancient and Christian modelled cities– as the absolute residence of a ruling deity. By occupying the geometric “heart” of a city, Christian architects knew that their power and influence could be firmly based until the church or temple is demolished. |
