      abstract = {Architects design houses, and the occupants turn them into homes. However, in a world of rapid globalisation, fast changing technology and changing family dynamics, the definition of a home is changing in a radical way. This paper aims to study the impact of globalisation on domestic space needs, family behaviour and the architectural brief in India through four parameters of information flow, demographic mobility, digital connectivity and cultural hybridisation. Based on a qualitative observation of the changing lifestyle patterns, a historical analysis of Indian domestic architecture from Harappan civilization to the present day, and a synthesis of the interdisciplinary literature on architecture, sociology, demography and urban studies, this paper outlines the evolution of the concept of 'home' and its probable future course for the next fifty years. Special focus is given to the kitchen as a functional and symbolic space in a home, as a measure of social change and to the consequences of the platform economy and environmental awareness for residential design. In today's world, the change is occurring at an unprecedented rate, as a result of the forces of globalisation. It further elaborates on the experience of adopting a lifestyle that was forced in the context of COVID-19.The paper proposes that the future of Indian housing design needs to break away from the rigid typological constraints and adopt flexible, reconfigurable, and technologically advanced spatial models that can adapt to various household configurations, work-from-home lifestyles, and sustainability goals. Specific design guidelines are suggested, based on the conflict between the human need for permanency and the transient and mobile society.},
