The Permanent Problem

NOTE

Flexible Housing for Community Building and Social Collaboration

Creating flexible living spaces where work and living are interconnected can lead to co-living arrangements fostering social connections and cooperation among people. This approach, enabled by remote work, allows for the formation of communities with shared tasks, child care, and education initiatives. By merging the tech and maker movements with self-conscious community development, individuals can organically establish living arrangements based on shared values, interests, and care needs, enhancing the quality of life and social bonds. The key lies in increasing the flexibility of building use to facilitate the creation of such communities, offering an appealing alternative to traditional assisted living setups by prioritizing social connections and shared experiences over mere proximity.
