Cortex of Light

Most people suffered huge influences and changes between 2020 to 2022, because of the Covid 19. More and more people wear masks to protect themselves, and avoid viruses to get fresh and clean air. In addition, people start to work from home, spending a larger amount of time working from home. In light of this trend, I design an architecture type to divide the public and private space, and use a new cortex to receive more sunlight and fresh air, so that people can enjoy a new model of life.This project is a collective housing design for 50 households. In this project, a unit structure is used to find a future co-living space. Through the exploration process of the composition and stacking of the same living units, the collective units become a recognizable architectural collective to create the collective form of “home.” Among them, the outer side of each unit house is the public space, and the inner side is the living space, so that the privacy of living can be guaranteed. While each resident co-constructs the collective, they also co-create the face of fifty kinds of life, communicating with the city through their small unit, and identifying their place in the city.
