Abstract:   (826 Views)
The outbreak of Covid-19 has profoundly transformed people's lifestyles, with one of the most significant shifts being a return to the home. The house, which had gradually lost its central role in daily life due to modernity turning into little more than a dormitory as people spent most of their time in urban spaces was suddenly required to fulfill multiple functions. This shift sparked a societal awareness of the need to rethink the physical, functional, and conceptual aspects of housing in response to the pandemic.This study explores possible future scenarios for housing by examining the impact of Covid-19 on human health and living spaces. To achieve this, futurism was applied, and alternative metaphors serving as the foundation for scenario development were identified through the four layers of the Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) method. By integrating CLA with Scenario Writing, four distinct scenarios were formulated, following James Dator's framework: the best-case scenario, the worst-case scenario, an unchanged scenario, and an out-of-frame scenario. These scenarios are categorized as follows: the smart house and the house as the center of the world, the flexible and self-sufficient house, the greenhouse and the house as a "home," and the fantasy and free house.
