Inquiry AI Architecture as an Application to a Post-Pandemic Situation in Dhaka
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has increased domestic violence. People must spend most of their time indoors, forcing them to use technologies like smartphones. Many individuals have gone through periods of unemployment, economic hardship, and faith-damaging family ties. People had no choice but to engage with the virtual environment in these circumstances. In Dhaka, the rooftop was used only as a playground and outdoor recreation location during this incident. Interactive architectural installations modeled after residential neighborhoods may significantly encourage a sense of community belonging, particularly for young and elderly people. Residents may use their rooftops and connect with collaborative architecture that uses all of their senses to communicate with people. This kind of interactivity could be used to combat the pandemic melancholy by mounting interactive architecture on the roof. This article discusses a potential interactive architecture that may be built on the rooftop and foster community spirit to aid the impoverished community during or after a pandemic. The initial objective is to deliver a more comprehensive and up-to-date review of the literature, along with some recommendations for an interactive design that could be used going forward to encourage neighborhood activities and allow the depressed population to engage in a home community. Expanding upon this analysis, the study makes the case for a method that intentionally takes into account the societal, psychological, and environmental aspects of existence.
