The world
has changed.
How will
society emerge post-pandemic? Will we take the opportunity to reset the status
quo? And, if so, what possibilities are there for architects to take the initiative
in designing this new world?
This
innovative design guide draws together expert guidance on designing in the
immediate aftermath of the pandemic for key architectural sectors: housing,
workplace, civic and cultural, hospitality, education, infrastructure and civic
placemaking. It provides design inspiration to architects on how they can
respond to the challenges and opportunities of a post-pandemic environment and
how architects ensure they are at the forefront of the best design in this new
world. Looking at each sector in turn, it covers the challenges specific to
each, and how delivering these designs might differ from the pre-pandemic
world.
As well as
post-pandemic design, the vital issue of climate change will be threaded
through each sector, with many cross-overs between designing for the climate
emergency and designing for a world after a pandemic. Both seek to make the
world a safer, happier and more resilient place.
Written by set
of contributing design experts, this book is for all architects, whether sole
practitioners or working in a larger practice. As well as inspirational design
guidance, it also provides client perspectives - crucial for understanding how
clients are planning for the future too.
