It was not long ago that an essential component for selling a house was a “TV room,” a place that could accommodate comfy chairs angled for multiple-person viewing. Now, between the explosion of available channels, the burgeoning number of devices for multimedia viewing, and the shrinking size of homes, the TV room is going the way of the land line. “The modernist architects would say that a house always responds to the technology that is introduced,” said James Moustafellos, associate director for the Center for Design + Innovation at Temple’s Fox School of Business. “When TV was introduced, people disguised it as a piece of furniture. Socially, people didn’t know how to integrate it.”
