As students get a taste of what homeschooling is like, thanks to the many school shutdowns occasioned by the 21st Century’s first global pandemic, some will find it more congenial than others.

I’m not preaching about panaceas here, more focusing on the personal workspace (PWS), a site for value adding and time management (scheduling).

Some subjects make more sense to tackle from a personal workspace in the workbench sense, an equipped studio, like when you need a big screen and don’t want to lug a laptop, an expensive personal item, to the school.

On the other hand, perhaps the school provides personal and group workspaces?

Passing on a culture requires apprenticeships and mentors. Isolating the generations from one another is not an answer.

The paradigm home studio might be an apartment in some high rise, with some floors, not necessarily the bottom ones, devoted to markets, offices, schools, clinics, veterinary facilities, hydroponic gardens.

The challenge of the mixed use high rise is percolating through many of the the architecture magazines, along with the lifestyles these engender.
