The basic principles of a home are shelter and a secure environment for its user. Whether it’s raining, storming or sunny outside, your house is where you get back . Home has always played this role for humankind since the agricultural era. However, through changes in history, the house has changed also . A home has evolved from a public place during the Archaic period to a personal space during the economic period, when every family had their house . Now within the 21st century, or the info age, the concept of a home has changed again.
The home is beginning to play a more diverse role in our lives. Not only are we spending longer reception , but we also are finding new purposes for our spaces. Our house is not only for living and sleeping anymore. New activities enabled by technology, like online education, video work calls, workout classes and social zoom sessions, expand our home’s functionality.
At the instant , the house is solely seen as a personal place. Yet, everytime we invite guests into our homes, our spaces become a touch bit more public. Nowadays, the lines between private and public are continuously blurred. Video calling, snapchat videos, instagram stories, performing from home or online education – there are countless examples where the general public is invited into our private spaces.
Currently, our homes aren’t designed for this data age. The acoustics, lighting and internet connection often deter efficient video calling or impair image quality. Moreover, it’s becoming tougher to separate time period from downtime reception . Now that data communication has become the norm, a replacement quite space must be introduced: the general public digital space reception . How does this space look? what’s the connection to the more traditional functions of our homes? How can the planning of a home ensure downtime from our online presence? How can we design the right light and acoustics for performing from home, without the glare of sunlight or dirty linen within the background? the pliability of video communication could even be applied to the floorplan of our future homes.
Our designs should reflect the new functionality of the longer term home and incorporate the connection between offline private spaces and public digital spaces. it’s time to make new technical and architectural criterion for a home. Let’s determine how this might look.
DESIGN BRIEF
Design the longer term lebensraum , where there’s a transparent distinction between public and personal spaces with regard to online and offline presence. Determine a context during which you think the longer term work-at-home space would thrive. Let your creativity run wild! How does the studio of the longer term look? Is it full with flowing shapes? Is it a hyper efficient apartment tower with tiny rooms? can we all camp in nature to urge faraway from the internet? Communicate your ideas employing a context drawing, a plan and a 3D impression (could be anything from a sketch, to a collage or alittle render).
