The City Of Lauma : The city of 2030's

In the 2030's, all people live in groups. Every activity is carried out in groups. jobs are given to groups, salary paid to the group as a whole. Commodities are bought and shared by the groups. The groups often live in the same house, share every bit of their belongings. Only the groups are identified. Individuals have no identity, not even amongst themselves. They are identified as a part of that group, nothing beyond that. However the group does not spend all the time together. People go to different places and do different things, but everywhere they are representing the group. They do not have individuality. From playing a video game to working in the office to playing live music at a concert, everything is done in shifts, however the change in people during shifts is not recognised. The ability to differentiate between people is lost. The only recognition that exists is of the groups and that too only for some whose profession can be made out from their attire and accessories. IN SUCH A CONTEXT... WHAT WOULD ARCHITECTURE BE LIKE ?
