Cosmos Architecture talks in Beijing about residential housing and new tendencies after Covid-19

Beijing, China

On Friday 8th of April from 12.30pm to 2.30pm (7.30pm - 9.30pm Beijing time), the Cosmos Architecture partners will speak during the International Design Institute event.
The event to be held in Beijing will be organized by CIID88, and is going to be the third event with invited international speakers. 

The topic title of the conference is going to be "Residential housing: the new way of living after the pandemic".

Pandemic thinking will likely favour less-open spaces (though people will crave nature-positive spaces), perhaps reviving cozy dens to supplement living rooms. Spending may shift into less obvious enhancements of safety and comfort. Better interior insulation will enable quieter places. Screened-in porches and outdoor spaces, and new approaches to landscaping will help keep mosquitoes and other disease-bearing critters at bay. A bedroom, kitchen, living room area and bath that is a little removed from the core of the house will accommodate adult children now and elderly parents later (at Lennar, we call this the Next Gen Home). Split HVAC systems can prevent sickroom air from being pumped into everybody’s space. Such mini-HVAC systems with no ductwork have become very affordable.

Home-based jobs call for better home offices (Lennar calls this the Next Gen Home Office). The infamous toilet flush in the background of U.S. Supreme Court by-telephone oral arguments underscored the perils of inappropriate home-work spaces. So do videos of children and pets interrupting conference calls or other tasks. A larger home-based work force will drive designers to balance job requirements with the privacy and safety of the family.
