In our era of digital atomisation, the notion of commune feels both anachronistic and nostalgically out of reach. Meanwhile, in the real world, we continue to exist among others tangibly and are only beginning to understand what a delusion it is to think that we are independent individuals. 

Most Western architecture is designed to separate, but today’s existence feels misaligned with building traditions of the past.

Architecture can provide a framework that makes connections, builds, and catalyses relationships while encouraging acceptance of the existing, the surrounding, and the otherness.
