What could apartments look like if we eliminated some of the rules they are subject to? Urbanarium held a design competition to find out.

Oh man. The level of discourse in north america seems really depressing.
And what is it with the concern of noise insulation i always read in comments when it comes to appartments, are there no regulations in place that would make this problem be just gone?
Yeah, sound dampening regulation. I mean it’s not that i have never heard anybody complain about their neighbours noise or them hearing phantom noise, so “just be gone” is maybe a bit over the top, although new appartment buildings are very well sound proofed.
The social aspect… i guess people just don’t usually use their powertools in the night. Is more like a social contract but you could call the cops for that.
I am just surprised how often this is being brought up in appartment discussion in NA, i don’t think it is that big of a problem here. Top comment on that video is “4 bedroom apartments with good sound isolation from neighbours would be SICK”, which seems kind of normal to me, although 4 bedrooms sure are on the bigger end.

Do you mean regulation that would require sound dampening, or regulation that would prevent people from being loud in the first place?
The former will vary by municipality and have huge exceptions for older buildings. The latter is effectively unenforceable.
If your country knows a way for noise pollution to “just be gone”, please share it with us. Please.
