Covid-19 has had a huge impact on the way people live.Before the Covid-19, people used to spend more time on outdoors activities, such as shopping, dining and working. But due to the restriction under Covid-19, these activities have to be done indoors.It’s unlikely to keep all kinds of people in the same space and under same level of restriction, which is inefficient in constructing a innovative living space. Here we design a miniature city that can classify and arrange people under their social activity needs. This new design serves as a solution to hold more people under basic social restrictions, and satisfy more people’s needs under pandemic.

Carl Gustav Jung

The miniature city mainly targets at two kinds of people, one who wants to be well isolated during the pandemic and one who desires to explore new living styles. In other words, the miniature city provides a new living style, even without pandemic, which condenses many activities into a limited space.

Before entering the city, the residents will have a test inspired by Jung’s sixteen personality tests, which serves as a classification.There will be four

Matching People, Activities and Spaces

1. Are you outwardly or inwardly focused? (+4/ -4)

Extraversion / Introversion

3. How do you prefer to make a decision? (+2/ -2)

Aggressive / Conservative

Then they get a score, be divided.

2.What’s your attitude towards the Covid-19? (+3/ -3)

Optimistic / Negative

4.How do you prefer to live your life?(+1/ -1)

Causal / Organized

16 Kinds of people Don't touch me.

According to the sixteen kinds of people based on our test, we further characterize them under multiple daily activity, symbolic phenomena during the pandemic and their space modes. We make a list to illustrate this advanced classification.

We have designed the living space of each floor separately, and laid out according to the living habits and needs of people living in different

Lives in Different Layers

The first layer is for that who wants a completely open living mode. For example, the Kabukicho Ichibangai in the figure is a place for outdoors entertainment, where Kabuki in a single room gives a performance to the audience in the street.

The first layer is for that who wants less completely open living mode. For example, the Kabukicho Ichibangai in the figure is a place for outdoors entertainment, where Kabuki in a single room gives a performance to the audience in the street.

The figure here shows the space for people who want a restriction to some extent. There is also capsule car which can transport only one person at a time, which is a special way of transportation under social restriction.

The fourth level is for those who want complete isolation. They have essentially no direct physical contact with the outside world and are connected to the outside world through pipeline transportation and networks.
