Flexi spaces in home design| Future-ready University campus| Ar. Zulueta talks about the evolution of forms| and more

Dear Reader,

There seems to be a lot of talk about designing post the pandemic – how spatial layouts will accommodate the ‘new normal’ where social distancing will perhaps be the tested path to a semblance of sanity in the wake of curtailing the Covid spread.

However, changing behaviour patterns have already made a dent in the way people respond to the built form and to each other; especially noticeable among institutional and therapeutic spaces.

One such story – the Delft University by UNStudio finds place in our pages this week. A must-read; the design explores how flexibility is ingrained in the core response of an individual and helps him navigate his journey with an open mindset.

Our cover story too follows almost similar principles as it speaks of a complete overhaul of a two-bedroom apartment into a flexible home with an open plan incorporating all the luxuries of a contemporary youthful lifestyle.

Besides, in our ongoing special on My Go-to Therapist, architect and artist, Alejandro Zulueta talks about his penchant with the evolution of forms.

Enjoy the read.

Until next week,

Warmly,

Savitha Hira
