From Captive Body in Confinement to Habitat 10.0

Abstract

Whether we live in common apartments, in 30sqm, in the middle of a city or a town, alone or in company, we were “locked inside”. Our experience of the lockdown, unleashed responses varying from profound mental stress to romanticizing the “great correction” the pandemic has offered us. For many, the home transformed to an isolationist bunker that is independent from the rest of the world.

The aim of this thesis is to redefine the domestic space in the era of isolation by understanding the different existing states of confinement and our methods of adaptation.

After understanding what and how confinement is shaped, the project aims at designing a new way of living under the name of “Habitat 10.0”.
