"The Dwelling House" by George Vivian Poore is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work explores various aspects of hygiene and sanitation in houses, with a strong emphasis on how architectural design impacts health and well-being. The author, a physician and sanitary expert, aims to highlight common defects in house planning and offer solutions, particularly addressing the relationship between human habitation and the spread of disease through poor ventilation and sanitation. The opening of the work sets the stage by discussing the profound influence of house design on individual health, especially in light of modern discoveries in bacteriology and disease transmission. Poore critiques typical housing layouts, emphasizing the dangers posed by inadequate ventilation and the mixing of fresh and foul air in residential buildings. He vividly outlines the defects found in common house designs, particularly in London, and underscores the importance of improving sanitation practices to prevent the spread of illnesses associated with overcrowded and poorly designed living spaces.
