The global pandemic and lockdowns have boosted technological advancements in our live-work patterns. Today, global companies have adapted to a hybrid model of work from office and home. Tier 2 and 3 cities in India can potentially emerge as business hubs & open fantastic opportunities, which will require urban development reforms, development of infrastructure.

Mixed-use developments, which are often larger in scale than exclusive residential buildings, present more opportunities to incorporate sustainable elements through design- use of renewable energy sources, incorporate green/public spaces, recycling wastewater, integrating pedestrian zones, etc.

DESIGN EVOLUTION:

STAGES:

▪ INTERACTIVE SPACES.

I. CREATING A FEELING OF ONENESS;

▪ LATER ON FOCUSED ON BUILDING ORIENTATION; TO HAVE A CENTRAL COURTYARD EFFECT.

▪ FOCUSED ON THE PERCEPTION OF THE USER:

I. HOW I WANT TO PROVIDE THE ESSENCE OF SPACE

II. HOW IT HAS USED BY THE USER.

▪ USER CENTRIC DESIGN.

▪ INTERCONNECTIVE IN TERMS OF BUILDING.

Communities in the future should be selfsufficient, and this can be done by living collectively like our ancestors did. In a community where individuals coexist, activities focused on green initiatives and communitybased projects help strengthen community cohesion

From a design perspective, collective living is possible through the creation of "space collective." Common areas within housing complexes are referred to as "space collective," with the goal of reviving the neighbourhood through significant and appropriate contemporary architectural and urban interventions that benefit the community
