Living in an era where the climate crisis is one of the biggest threats to our future, and the building and construction sector being the largest contributor to this problem; there is enough evidence to call for a change to our habitat. As architects, we have a responsibility to be aware of the implications of our design habits and technology on the environment, which calls for an ecological and sustainable approach to our design practice. This thesis explores how Co-living, with its many benefits, can be an approach towards a sustainable future; and experiments with multiple strategies for intelligent building methods.
