Over the time, the basic job of the house was safety, and initially was a place to hide from bad weather and predators, then long stone castles were built to prevent the enemy from entering, then the plague was a reason for opening larger and less crowded public spaces, as the yellow fever was the causeIn creating sewage systems.
Today, with the Corona virus, people need a house that isolates them from humans and viruses, which is planned by architects to be our homes in the future, and here are some of the changes they work on:
1- Perhaps the design of tall buildings will end to housing the largest possible number of people in a group of apartments, all of which share their internal facilities such as spending, stairs, elevator and buildings, and we will return to the house consisting of a role or two.
After the forced isolation imposed in apartments without a large balcony, we all want a house with a small coffee courtyard in the morning.It is sufficient for us only to imagine the elevator, its pride, the door handles, the surfaces, and everything in a huge building, and how much this design has become a great source of transmission of the infection to dozens of people.
2- Designers expect to adopt the concept of "healthy construction" through the use of natural light, improving ventilation, less than construction components and toxic decoration, and integrating plants and other natural materials.
Perhaps the most important change in the state of "healthy construction" is ventilation;It includes the existing air expulsion technology and the new air entry to remove pollutants;Air recycling allowance;Which prevents pathogens from spreading to the rest of the building, which is the technique that is likely to be activated in hospitals after the epidemic.
3- There is an architectural trend already for fortified buildings, given our true experience in isolation that sparked some ideas from the end of the world.One of the suggestions of this trend is that the house contains an external store adjacent to the car coat, to store food and detergents.These self -energy buildings will be independent with their water supply and heating for independence from the outside world if the matter worsens.
4- The plans that open the entrance to the living room, the kitchen and the dining room will also end, and what we know in the American cuisine.The entrance to the house will be separated;Where we can leave our shoes, clothes and property, instead of carrying dirt to the living room.
5- We will definitely see the return of custom work spaces at home, and real offices, more than just temporary corners in the room;When you spend a lot of time working from home, you need a actually separate space for the rest of the house, to be more productive, and you have a clear separation between working hours and relaxation.
You also need an organized office with a decent background to attend your "Online" meetings, open the camera without worrying from what appears around you, and a space for exercise and meditation or a reading angle can be customized alongside home offices.
6- Some thought of designing spaces in residential buildings for recreation, and allowing neighbors to meet some of them while they are committed to social divergence of coffee, which may be transmitted into homes with wide balconies with a table and coffee machine as a morning station before you go to work in your room.
7- Designers are heading to apply bacterial resistant strategies, such as anti-microbial and high-adhesive polymer surfaces, and copper surfaces that kill germs and viruses automatically, instead of our long-term dependence on plastic and "stainless" ideal for bacteria growth.
UV lamps can also be a new technology that is combined at home, in order to eliminate bacteria and viruses.
8- Designers seek to implement interior designs for homes in order to provide psychological and physical comfort more than ever.Designers will need to think about how to help us maintain our mental health through internal environments, using lighting, colors, arranging furniture, and designing small music libraries, while maintaining social spacing between members of the house.
9- This crisis can bring an increasing demand for smart toilets, which is very common at the present time only in some countries such as Japan, as well as automatic cleaning and high allergic tap that we see now only in some public baths..
10- Our hobbies related to gardening will return strongly, along with new ways to integrate green spaces into homes.Vertical gardens and inner gardening will witness a boom, as a proven way to reduce our stress and improve air quality inside our homes.
Cultivation of what you eat can become an option that can be explored with small interior spaces equipped with artificial light, air and water.
