The influence of human socio-cultural needs on the architecture and planning decisions of colivings

Abstract

Architectural solutions should always be aimed at meeting the socio-cultural needs of a person. Le Corbusier, Ralph Erskine, Jane Jacobs, Kevin Lynch, Richard Sennett are devoted to the study of the impact of social development on urban planning and residential development. The need for housing to a large extent depends on the period of a person's life. In this regard, Le Corbusier advocated the creation of a flexible architecture that changes depending on the phase of life. Housing should correspond to the social status and personal needs of each family member. One way to fulfill this need is coliving. It is attractive to people at different stages of life. Young people can choose co-living to save on rent and live closer to work and play. Young families can use it to share space with other parents and children. Coliving is also handy during life transitions and allows you to make new friends and have more opportunities for social interaction. Architects who have worked on coliving projects include Olafur Eliasson, Norman Foster, Jeannette Mardini and David Chipperfield. The paper proposes the layout of coliving for housing graduate students and teachers of higher education.
