Foyer
A lobby is a room in a building used for entry from the outside. Sometimes referred to as a foyer, entryway, reception area or entrance hall, it is often a large room or complex of rooms (in a theatre, opera house, concert hall, showroom, cinema, etc.) adjacent to the auditorium. It may be a repose area for spectators, especially used before performance and during intermissions, but also as a place of celebrations or festivities after performance. In other buildings, such as office buildings or condominiums, lobbies can function as gathering spaces between the entrance and elevators to other floors. Since the mid-1980s, there has been a growing trend to think of lobbies as more than just ways to get from the door to the elevator but instead as social spaces and places of commerce. Some research has even been done to develop scales to measure lobby atmosphere to improve hotel lobby design. Many office buildings, condominiums, hotels and skyscrapers go to great lengths to dec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Foyer (housing Model)
The Foyer housing model is a method of transitional housing for youth that evolved from temporary housing for laborers in Europe. After World War II, foyers were used to provide accommodation for a movement of people from rural France to cities seeking work. The term "foyer" means ''hearth'' in French. They later developed to house migrant workers, primarily from Algeria, serving as a path to independent labor and accommodation.Dafne Accoroni. Islamic Integration and Social Wellbeing in Paris: The Soninké Foyer and the Mouride Brotherhood. Social Anthropology and ethnology. University College London, 2011. English.

''Home'', also translated as ''Charity'' (), is a French three-act comedy by the novelist and playwright Octave Mirbeau, written in collaboration with Thadée Natanson.

An English translation, by Richard Hand, has been published by Intellect Books : ''Two Plays: "Business is Business" and "Charity"'', January 2012, 147 pages ().
