We navigated an unprecedented period in human history, facing the uncertainties of a post-Corona world. The pandemic had exposed our vulnerabilities, indicating that this crisis was a precursor to future challenges.

We must rethink housing as multifunctional spaces that support our daily lives and envision urban environments that empower citizens and foster solidarity. As Winston Churchill said, "We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us."
