179prs_GAME OF HOUSING: A SPATIAL PUZZLE

The Game of Housing is a spatial puzzle that requires the resolution of various topological constraints between 1. the house as a container of objects and 2. between the containers themselves. As such relative spatial positions between ‘inside / outside’ and ‘close / far’ needs resolving. In Cartesian space, it is fairly obvious that a single object can only exist in one space at a time and no two objects can reside in the same space simultaneously. That an innovative resolution to the contested field of housing is by no means straight forward can be seen in the classical mathematical puzzle known as the “Gas, Water, Electricity problem”:
