Society has changed drastically in the future. AI (Artificially intelligence) and High-tech devices have changed living drastically. 
We need to find a way to deploy new building typology in a high-tech society. The form of the cities has been questioned after the pandemic. The digital revolution is at its peak, but the architectural manifestation has been evolving at a very small pace. The design proposes a mixed-use building typology for the future, The future which will require a lot of purposeless follis within the built premises with some semblance of desired activity. The design proposal aims to deal with the deep psychological impact of the digital world by the multiple plug-ins (leisure, choice-based workplace, services, landscaping) right next to your door in a verticity. The city can be shaped by this new building type in the future and has the potential to reach up to the future needs of society along with technology. 

Visualizing the Future Context through the form of Comic- The idea of technology and AI was taken to its extreme point to visualize the changes in society. The idea of family, economy, work has changed and the technology has brought few nuances in the lives of the living creatures.
