Abstract

The 2019-2021 pandemic crisis could have been a benchmark for the architecture of the house as we know it. More or less each and every one of us have seen our Safe European Homes transformed overnight in an office, a classroom, a gym, a ballet hall, a football pitch etc., often all of it at the same time. And it happened only few years after the credit crunch and the subsequent sovereign debt crisis have already swept away the optimism and faith in global economy which emerged in the ‘90s and ‘00s. The great recession had took down yet, or at least had severely reduced, the glamorous architecture previously spread all over the world by star architects as many estate programs had grinded to a halt. And all of this happened as a more terrible and dangerous threat dawned: the ecological crisis that could have an abysmal effect on the whole Anthropocene. Moreover, in 2010, for the first time in human history, the urban population has outgrown the rural population.
