of transportation, and modern forms of community and networking create un- conventional solutions for an ideal living space.


These living spaces can be divided into three categories: First Place, Second Place, and Third Place. “First Place” refers to your own home. New, creative solutions are needed in cities in response to housing shortages and steadily increasing real estate prices.

Cities have been, and will remain, a driving force for trends, innovation, digitization, and connectivity. According to estimates, by 2030 there will be more than 500 cities with over one million inhabitants. People who prefer an urban lifestyle have high ex- pectations when it comes to the way they want to live and work in the future.


An environmentally conscious and healthy way of life is just as important to them as a city with an ecological, green design and a creative urban environment. They long for new communities, varied opportunities for work, recreation, and financial security.


As a result, enhancing the “urban quality of life” is evolving into a global task. New architectural models, pragmatic modes


The term “Second Place” refers to either workplaces, schools, or vocational train- ing facilities. In a working world that is constantly changing, new possibilities for unconventional workspace design are opening up.


Places where people meet or otherwise spend time are described as “Third Places.” These include public spaces in the city, but also airports, train stations, cultural institutions, or shops, restaurants, and bars.


Often times, the line between these places can be blurred. For example, new commu- nication technologies make it possible to work from home or to use a public café for meetings.
