From Tradition to Transformation: Architectural Evolution in Pakistani Homes

Abstract

A country's socioeconomic progress is heavily influenced by its living conditions. It is valued by all nations for its importance and ability to promote social welfare and create a progressive society. It is not just a basic requirement, but also necessary for security, stability, comfort, and success Struggles in selecting a suitable residence are common experiences, with the plethora of options available catering to diverse cultures, family dynamics, and lifestyle preferences. In Pakistan's contemporary housing sector, developers often produce standardized homes, prompting homeowners and renters to invest significant time and effort in renovations to personalize their living spaces. Architects aspire to streamline this process for end-users by comprehensively grasping modern family dynamics and spatial utilization within homes. This necessitates a thorough spatial analysis and insight into current trends to enhance future design endeavours.

This proposed research aims to contribute to this overarching objective by delving into the nuanced understanding of spatial functionality within households. By leveraging this knowledge, architects, developers, and students can collaboratively strive towards crafting more efficient and friendly living environments.
