Abstract :
The COVID-19 pandemic reinstated the definition of home. Once our cities and streets suffered lockdowns and our homes became all of it i.e. offices, classrooms, gyms and prayer spaces. Although quarantines were ensured for our protection, it exposed the limitations of the traditional housing that had trouble supporting the emotional, social, and functional needs of this new lifestyle. This research explores the essence of community living, offering a reflections of the lessons learned during the pandemic in order to imagine a healthier and resilient housing. It aims to design a platform that embraces resiliency and well-being within the communities so that homes become more responsive to future disruption. The research also examines the ways in which the spatial structure and cohabitation patterns can develop to promote contact, fluidity, and psychological ease based on the studies done in architecture and the perspectives of subject domain experts. The key question that arises in this research is the following: What are the spatial and functional changes required in houses to accommodate the post-pandemic living? Finally, the outcomes are anticipated to inform architects, planners, and policymakers to create inclusive, responsive, and community-focused residential space to foster individual and community resiliency in a world of change.
