1:39 am
new living concepts that see architects attempt to create more communal and social spaces in ever bigger cities so let's head to saxony for a proper look at what our lives could soon look like. this wooden house in leipsic a sustainable ecological and shared property of the residents. most of the rooms are used by everyone the start of living that's becoming increasingly common. the exhibition together at the leipzig museum of applied arts shows the different types of communal living including the early twentieth century tenement buildings. and the first hippie commie. london's particular estate is a residential area built in the one nine hundred sixty s. in the british capital it contains the broader consented for performing arts i mean c m school offices and homes. there are numerous early examples of this modern day
1:40 am
communal living and various reasons for the renaissance of this lifestyle. we share much more now there are lots more ways to share things like cars and homes when we go away there's more pressure in the cities rent prices have gone up so the idea really is that we should share space and save money at the same time. we have more single person households now that also plays a role. and an aging society we need new ways of living that soon these new conditions more limbs but they are on the path of. the exhibition contains photos and explanations of various types of communal architecture around the world with elaborate models to set the scene. here you can see what's communal and what's private. communal living doesn't necessarily mean everything is
1:41 am
shared there are options for people who need their privacy. a very important example is a new type of layout called cluster living. that each resident has their own mini apartment with one or two small private rooms a small bathroom and a kitchenette. and bottom of. these many of the hot months are all centered around a big communal area with a big kitchen and a big living room. so you have the advantage of being able to retreat when you need to up there monday in. one of these cluster apartments has been replicated in the original size at the live sigma c.m. . these other smaller private areas. and these other spacious shared areas. this type
1:42 am
of cluster living is well beyond the test phase in the lead up to twenty people share this clay felt co-op housing and investors can squeeze these residents to maximize returns. so are communal buildings an attack on the real estate sector. in the i wouldn't call it an attack but it does show that you can develop projects differently and that there is a demand. the real estate sector always lags behind debate they're not that innovative these projects came about because the market wasn't offering anything if this kind of people got together to develop it themselves because they wanted to do it differently and they had other ideas about life. a move towards sharing space and living together doesn't only shape our private lives but also the cities we live in that space with individual more space for everyone.
