Community Living
Design proposals and built work on shared living, collective spaces, and how buildings and neighbourhoods support daily life together.
Community living concerns the design of housing, shared facilities, and public space that support people living close together. Architects working in this area consider how layout, circulation, and materials shape interaction, privacy, and everyday routines across households.
Members here explore urban proposals, adaptive reuse, and mixed-use buildings that combine work, leisure, and residence. Projects range from speculative city models and floating or coastal settlements to civic spaces such as community living rooms and gallery-led neighbourhood initiatives.
