I remember in university I lived in a house with 8 people. We would all gather for dinner, often with a few extras from out of the house. It was such a wonderful feeling (and wonderfully efficient, you only had to cook once a week!).
The idea of communal spaces needs to come back. I don't think it would be too hard for a 10-story apartment block to offer a communal area, especially as the shops that were often on the first and second floors are going out of business due to online shopping.
- ratww 5y agoDid it ever died? Most of my younger friends who live in large cities (in Europe and Latin America) live in communal apartments, and most of the older ones certainly did in the past, especially when in university.
- pessimizer 5y agoI'd like to see more architecture (and organizational/financial) oriented towards this. There were a lot of great experiments in the early Soviet Union that were hammered down by Stalin and his desire to imitate western opulence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructivist_architecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructivist_architecture
