The pandemic imposed a major shift on how we live and work. National lockdowns eradicated the lines between home, office and school, making conversations around live/work spaces more urgent than ever before. Instead of driving people apart, social distancing, remote working and the reliance on digital communication have led to a huge demand for physical togetherness. How can we design a future that enables greater collaboration, connectivity and social interaction? The trend for shared living spaces is showing no signs of slowing down; collaborative spaces have been hailed as the solution to the 21st century's culture of overwork, a broken housing market and chronic loneliness, particularly among the elderly. When implemented carefully, considering different degrees and models of sharing, they tackle the question of independence (and its complex relationship with solidarity) and the longevity and power of intergenerational living. A practical and inspirational design guide, this book draws on Naomi Cleaver's own experience as a designer alongside the work of other experts including Rockwell Group, Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter, Squire and Partners and DH Liberty. Featuring detailed and highly illustrated case studies across co-living and co-working typologies, it takes in new builds and conversions of various sizes that have been implemented internationally. It concludes with a best practice toolkit that provides valuable advice and lessons for designers working at any scale. Case studies include: Humanitas Deventer, The Netherlands K9 Coliving, Sweden Mokrin House, Serbia NeueHouse Hollywood, Los Angeles Outpost Ubud Penestanan, Bali The Project at Hoxton, London. Foreword by Professor Sadie Morgan OBE, Director of dRMM and Chair of the Quality of Life Foundation.

What if research, science and architecture merged ? This question drives the ideas of architects Chris Bosse, Alexander Rieck and Tobias Walisser from LAVA, the Laboratory for Visionary Architecture. The 2020 Expo in Dubaï marked the unveilling of LAVA's German Pavilion, which became a fertile starting point for this book. Rather than looking back on 15 years of major global work, this book looks to the future of architecture and life on earth. The four key themes explored in the Pavilion : future cities, biodiversity, energy transition ans social impact of architecture are joined by two further urgent topics : new digital processes and the evolution of the workplace. These six ideas become the lens through which LAVA's founders, as well as visionaries from architecture and adjacent disciplines, ask questions about the built environement and his future. We hear from Maria Aiolova, Raoul Bunschoten, Giovanna Carnevali, Marjan Colletti, Caia Hagel, Amy Frearson, Riya Patel, Gilles Retsin, Georg Vrachliotis, André Wilkens, and many others. Each theme is presented through a series of thought-provoking essays, features, interviews, and LAVA projects underpinned by the curiosity of the authors who unravel these themes, each with the same question : what if ?
