Abstract

During the pandemic, the house was the place of isolation, the headquarters of lock-down - but as the overall situation is improving we need to solve this paradigma. The introverse environment of the interior of a house gets reflected into the outer public space, with the Interior as a metaphor for the Urban landscape, in which the precedent private spaces are mirrored back into the outside world. Rooms of the house - such as the kitchen, the living room, and the office - keep their character but are transformed into outdoor spaces and services to bridge the gaps and lacks that we suffered during the pandemic: a new gathering opportunity for citizens in the form of a safe environment, which can be shaped according to personal and groups' needs and that relies on a participatory design. A prototype, suitable to different contexts, which can be assembled and which is not only designed FOR people but also BY people. This historical moment shaped our minds, our necessities, and our spaces: now it's our turn! The flow is ready, are you?
