Every media development alters the availability and nature of traditional private and public places. The 20th century has witnessed the transformation of the home from sanctuary to communication hub. Such changes have altered the way in which domestic space is experienced. The integration of media technologies requires a reorganization of the home as social space. Communication technologies have reshaped the uses of domestic space and redefined the division of home and the workplace. The experience of home environments is no longer solely shaped by the physical environment but by the constantly expanding nonphysical world of connection. This article superimposes a communication analysis of domestic design and proposes integrating media technology and the changing communication landscape into any analysis of space in the home environment.

The military operations of 1974 in Cyprus led to the formation of two autonomous areas houding Turkish Cypriots in the north and the Greek Cypriots in the south. The island is divided by the "Green Line", patrolled by U.N. peace keeping forces.Movement is blocked and communication severed. There are multiple and conflicting Cypriot identities and feelings of nationalism ranging from pride in being Cypriots, to feelings of connection to Hellenic heritage, and cultural along with political and economic ties to Greece. A Turkish Cypriot identity linked to a distinct religious and linguistic background co-exists with Turkish settlers living in the independent north yet tied to Turkey. This article examines the division from a communication perspective taking into account language, religion, the visual landscape and the media landscape on each side ofthe "Green Line" along with interlocking media landscapes with Greece or Turkey in order to explore influences shaping collective identity and nationalism.
