AD : WE AT DE INDIA ARE CELEBRATING THE ESSENCE OF OUR HOMES . STAYING INDOORS SAFE IN THIS PANDEMIC MADE US CONNECT WITH OUR HOMES MORE THAN EVER . HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR PROCESS TO DESIGN A RESIDENCE THAT TRANSFORMS THE LIVING OF THE RESIDENT ?
PATRICIA : In this period of transition and in a post-pandemic world , design can play a crucial role in defining the “ new normal ”.
Especially , our houses will have to be increasingly flexible and there we will pay more and more attention to energy saving and to the relationship with green , both inside and outside our living spaces . In addition to this , architects are asked to design time and its passing as well as to design new behaviors . I believe that this historical moment is really interesting and full of challenges for us architects and designers .
