چکیده
Globalisation alongside with the wider utilization of modern and mobile technology is changing the relationship with time, place and space by enabling and maintaining connections despite the physical location. In consequence people are less than ever tied to one particular place and they are basically free to choose the location and time where to spend time, dwell or work. This development trend challenges the traditional ways of housing only in a single place and enables people to build their everyday lives in two or more locations. This kind of lifestyle, where people divides their lives in several locations may be characterised as flexible and multilocational. It is liable that these post-modern lifestyles are becoming all the more mobile and flexible and common at the same time. In this paper, the term flexible lifestyle is used to describe this kind of postmodern housing and working patterns.
