adjl 06/05/23 11:06:07 AM #19:	Generally not. Rooms have one or more dedicated functions, such that you stay in them for as long as you intend to participate in activities associated with those functions. Hallways just connect rooms, so you generally won't stay in them longer than it takes to travel to the room associated with whatever activity you're looking to perform. That's not to say you can't arrange your home so that you dedicate functions to a hallway, and very often hallways end up being used for storage (especially for things like coats or shoes, in the case of whatever hallway connects to the main door) such that you could liken them to a storage room, but speaking in broad terms about the concepts I would consider the two to be distinct. --- This is my signature.

adjl 06/05/23 12:49:12 PM #21:	chelsea___wtf posted... travel is an activity. hallways are the rooms that you use primarily to travel between locations. In this case, travel is a means to an end, specifically getting to the place where you want to be to do the things you want to do. Kind of a journey vs. destination sort of deal: the hallway generally is not a destination, rooms generally are. chelsea___wtf posted... it's true that other rooms may also serve this purpose to some extent (for example, walking through the living room to get between the kitchen and hte hallway), but this is also true of other rooms. You can indeed walk through rooms to get to other rooms, as is typical in open-concept designs or any other layout that puts rooms behind other rooms (walking through a bedroom to get to an en suite bathroom being one of the best illustrations of this), but the difference is that connecting rooms is the sole purpose of the hallway (again, outside of using it for storage or something to blur the line). chelsea___wtf posted... Someone eating in a living room doesn't mean that dining rooms are not a real room type It does, however, mean that those people may not need a designated dining room and could consider arranging the room to do something else. Rooms and layouts are flexible and should be configured according to the inhabitants' personal needs and tastes. I'm not about to suggest that something that most would recognize as a hallway shouldn't be used as a room, if those using it feel like it works best for whatever purpose they assign to it. Just that, after the inhabitants of a home have configured rooms according to their wishes, any space that exists primarily to connect other spaces instead of being the site of any household activities would be best described as a hallway and not a room, and that the two are distinct concepts. --- This is my signature.

adjl 06/05/23 1:54:23 PM #23:	Arguably, but I'd say that that would still be described as going to the kitchen to cook, which is identifying the room as your destination and ascribing a specific function to it that doesn't depend on any other activities (putting aside for a moment the fact that eating the food shortly follows cooking it). By contrast, you don't go to the hallway to walk. You use the hallway to walk to other rooms, wherein you will do stuff. Again, it's a matter of journey vs. destination. If you make a habit of walking up and down the hallway just for the sake of walking through the hallway, then you could frame the hallway as being your destination and walking being the activity (in which case, it would become the walking room), but for the most part that's not the case and it exists only as an intermediary between destinations. --- This is my signature.
