The future scenarios of the house in the conditions of widespread diseases according to the method of James Detour

The emergence of Covid-19 has extensively changed people's lifestyle. Returning to house/home was deemed to be one of the primary changes. The house from where we moved away in pursuit of modernity, and we used to spend most of the day and night in urban spaces and streets, and had been converted only into a dormitory, now has to meet many needs. Thus, the feeling of a need to change the environment, the body, and the concept of house arose in the heart of the society after the spread of Covid-19. The present work was to obtain possible scenarios for the future of house respecting the impact of Covid-19 disease and human health. To this, futurism was used and alternative metaphors - the basis for writing scenarios- were extracted by deepening of the four layers of Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) method. Four different scenarios were finally obtained from the combination of CLA and Scenario Writing. The scenarios, according to James Detour's method, discuss four different states for the future: the best state, the worst state, unchanged state, and out-of-the frame state. The scenarios were captured as the following order: the smart house and the house as the world's center, the flexible and self-sufficient house, the green house and house as the "home", and the fantasy and free house. At all times, human survival has depended on the correct response to a series of needs born and raised with man since his creation. The needs require correct response in any era in order improve quality of life. The need to have shelter is one the human being's wants that early man met it by taking refuge in caves. However, the way to meet the need for shelter has changed over time and due to the impact of other aspects on life and lifestyle, so that the cave of early humans has turned into a smart house today. The emergence of Covid-19 has extensively altered individuals’ lifestyle. Returning to homes was deeded to be one of the biggest alterations.
