CASE STUDY BRIEF Everyone went through a strong turning point two years ago. The Covid pandemic is one of the biggest crisis since the Second World War. Suddenly, the boundless mobility that was the ideal in the globalized open world came to a standstill. Perhaps globetrotters felt homesick for the first time when it was uncertain whether or when a journey home or onward would be possible? With this uncertainty came the change. It seemed as if many became aware of their homeland for the first time and developed a stronger bond with it. An opportunity? The phrase "We're staying home" became the hashtag of the pandemic. Now everyone had to choose their location - the place they were currently staying, or the one they wanted to return to - their home. It was no longer the place where we enjoyed our after work time and met with our loved ones. It was everything. Work, school, recreation - everything took place within our own four walls. Is our home designed for that, or have we reached a point where we know something has to change? We need more than familiar solutions and a good design. But don't we all instinctively know that this time could be the impulse and catalyst for something new? Questions need to be answered that focus on things like whether housing as we know it still makes sense and do we still need the old methods? Do we still believe in the typical patterns of a family or are there new forms of living together? We should also integrate the ideas of sustainability, availability of materials and accessibility for everyone. The idea is not to create a solution for a specific group, but for all - people and environment.
