Communities have always thrived and sustained themselves through innovative collaborations with their environment and individuals that surround them. These have often been responses to diverse needs, ranging from celebrations to contestations, formal to informal associations or progressive development to building capacity and resilience. Agency that the communities gain through such associations empower them to translate their needs to tangible and intangible solutions, each unique to the problem, place and time. Architecture can thus be identified as a tangible solution to community needs that emanate out of a collaborative alliance.

The submitted essay should reflect on how collaborative architecture can be a tangible solution to attain good and functional design that enables diversity and inclusion. How do architects reimagine/reframe processes to design for and with communities? What are the possibilities for design interventions that would involve inter-disciplinary collaborations for community infrastructures?

Studentship detail:
The landscape of work in the creative industry, accelerated by the pandemic, is shifting towards hybrid work, involving in-person and remote collaborative practices. This means that as digital technology and virtual connectivity are becoming fully assimilated into everyday practice, the world is witnessing a transition from questions around how technology can be adopted and used in the workplace to those around how the new hybrid ecosystem should be humanised and designed to support workers holistically. Consequently, post-digital work will spatially, managerially, and socially juxtapose several seemingly conflicting constructs in the workplace (such as the need for simultaneous connectivity and disconnection; synchrony and asynchrony; individuality and collectively). This shift in work practices challenges the conventions of creative collaborative working.

Stroke survivors usually stay in rehab for a long time thus, the rehab has lots of potential to improve stroke survivors' recovery.
