Answer
1. The kind of house will many people wish to have after the pandemic :
• The house can be small but with a courtyard and a terrace. Probably the function for
having coffee in the morning;
• People need a house that can effectively provide social isolation;
• The house now offers a retreat from viruses and infections.

2. The design looks like open-plan spaces, with the entrance, living room, dining space and
kitchen united. In the aftermath of the pandemic, the entrance area will be separated so
that we can leave our shoes, clothing and belongings on the street, rather than carry dirt
into the living quarters.

3. The goals of having an autonomous mini-stations is to generating alternative power, and

the goal will be independence from the outside world, minimizing risks in the case of a
full shutdown.

some harmful organism, virus, and bacteria in the air :
• Featuring antiseptic dispensers for cleaning room.
• Using a lamp that can generates ultraviolet radiation.
5. To prevent the virus entering, people will work from home and there will be people who
will on the first day after the quarantine, race to meet colleagues and drink that office
coffee. But there will be those who will not want to return to the office.

6. There are several home working space plan looks like in the future :
• Spatial organization will change, with the place to work at home no longer a desk
with a parody of an office chair and a lamp, slotted somewhere in the corner of the
living room or under the stairs;
• It will be a completely separate room with large windows, blackout curtains and
comfortable furniture;
• It will be technically equipped and sound insulated.

7. If we want to develop an underground basement- garden, we will need extra equipment

like :
• Artificial lighting;
• Water and air filtration;
• Soil fertilizer.

8. There are two considerations before people buy mass industry products :
• Are they made of natural materials ?
• Does their production harm the planet ?
