WEEK 5 - project development 2

Architecture Possibility

As an architect we try to cover the for most important factor to our future community which is:
virtual education pod
integration of sophisticated public transport system
new and innovative way of food production
flexibility and adaptability shelter

My focus is to research of what is shelter, and architecture possibility of shelter.
what is shelter?

People who don't have shelter are houseless - not homeless! Homelessness has nothing to do with a lack of shelter.
Define Homeless: 'An inadequate experience of connectedness with family and or community,' (Dominic Mapstone).
Homelessness is about a lack of connectedness. Belonging somewhere is about belonging with other people. Like belonging to a family or local community.
The largest social demographic in first world countries that experiences homelessness are actually elderly people who are houseful. Quite often their spouse has died and their children live at a distance. They feel the same loneliness and abandonment as the person living on the street. Therefore, to achieve good living condition we should live in the community who have a strong sense of community and sharing, in this case architecture solution can be a good possibility to help improve the sense of community and sharing. 



Architecture Possibility 
Flexibility and adaptability 
(Modified to suit changes in life style on a daily or longer-term basis)

Single apartment can be combined into a larger apartment to accommodate a growing family, while furniture can be folded to turn a living space into a bedroom

As the apartments are able to cater to the needs and desires of the varying occupants, at their various life stages, a more stable community can be achieved through this adaptable nature












Multi function
One space for different function
