During the current pandemics several themes have emerged also concerning architecture. Among these there are the different forms of home living. This has been an extraordinary situation in which we had to do more activities within the same home environment: education, work, and workout have claimed their own legitimate space within our homes in order to enable us to continue carrying out multiple tasks at the same time. We have felt the need of an alternative dwelling model and realized that we should require our homes to be more adaptable, even in not so dramatic emergency circumstances. The need of housing flexibility requires a re-thinking of distribution criteria which could affect the structures of our buildings.
