number of people, calculated correctly.. We will also
say goodbye to open plans that save space, one of the
main trends of recent years. Changes will be made
in the plans such as entrance, living room, kitchen
combined. After the pandemic, the entrance areas
will be separated, and areas where disinfection and
home entrance isolation will be made will be done so
that our shoes, clothes and belongings will be left in a
wide area instead of carrying them from the street to
our living areas and necessary hygiene will be provided.
Recyclable living spaces will increase.
Do you mean recycling will people produce their own
energy?
The buildings and structures of the future, as I always
defend, will be planned as independent areas that
can be recycled and provide their own water supply
and heating. Geothermal wells were already gaining
popularity in the houses we planned in smaller cities.
I think this will become more common and will be
planned as houses that are partially heated in addition
to water or that can provide their own heating.
In general, there will be several heating sources to
create a safety net in our homes; stoves, fireplaces,
solid fuel boilers, fuel generators, solar panels,
autonomous mini stations that produce alternative
power will be real. Our goal will be to be independent
from the outside world and to minimize risks in case
of complete isolation.
In this period, the concept of “Home Office” became
more widespread. What kind of changes do you think
will be in this regard?
During the quarantine period, almost every profession
is practiced or forced from home. Although every individual
does not have the desired environment, we see
that when we are compelled for reasons, the time and
acceptance used to change can be very fast. I cannot
do it in any way, I cannot concentrate, I have no area,
etc. for reasons, and it disappears with the seriousness
of facts and experiences. There will be people
who are looking forward to the end of the quarantine,
who are eager to go to their office, and ‘one of them’
is people who do not want to return to the office while
there are people. After this situation, more attention
will be paid to the existence and usability of our work
areas in our homes. In other words, the offices in the
houses will no longer have areas set up for the dining
table, living room armchairs and coffee tables. There
will now be rooms with large windows, daylight, which
can be dimmed when desired, and can be increased
from the sound that has a desk, chair, technically
internet, phone and computer. Of course, in this case,
the owners will make more efforts to reclaim office
workers. They will need to prepare the necessary,
healthy, clean and productive work areas where social
distances are maintained when necessary.
What other habits will be lost or won?
Organic farming was done in fashion in fashioned
pots on our balconies near our homes. But after these
times, more and more people will do it for need. These
are already being done as a hobby and we always
heard from our grandparents that it was good for calmness
in our minds. Now, we will feel obliged to use
their crops to feel more isolated and safe. In addition
to food production, these areas can provide additional
oxygen production
What would you like to add lastly?
After the quarantine period that started in somewhere,
the world watched from the pictures that a new
sky has formed over the world in a period of about 2
months. In other words, when there is no epidemic
when production is interrupted for only 2 months, the
people walking around with a mask can breathe fresh
air after a long time. I think the world is changing and
new discoveries and discoveries are emerging. In
short, life will be like when our families lived in time.
Consumption will be as much as needed. If we look
at the results, we will encounter healthier, natural,
happy productions and consumption. Actually, it is
the main subject that people we call the old lands are
against disease.
In this process, let’s stay in our homes, wash our hands,
eat well. Let’s understand the signals and messages
the planet gives us and reshape our lives accordingly.
We wish everyone to stay safe and healthy…
