Description:
This thesis is centered on the adaptation of
architecture to accommodate university students
working from home. Through studying real lived
experience space of everyday domestic life.
Embracing the everyday humble, messy, real
inhabited domestic space. A habitable space that
supports healthy work environments used by
students. Space is designed to reduce stress and
reverse the negative connotations surrounding
“work” and increase efficiency and satisfaction
and fulfillment in the workspace. Since the rise
of Covid-19, students are now forced to merge
their educational environment with their home
environment. What is dificult about this is that
work and relaxation environments are typically
thought of as opposing places. The goal is to create
a smooth transition between the two spaces by
organization and change of behavior That will
minimize their stress during this very unique time
that will have lasting effects on everyone.
