In 2020, the COVID pandemic unfolded and transformed the lives of
billions across the world. As the invisible killer marched across
continents, causing unprecedented disruption worldwide, architects
and designers began rethinking how to design cities and adapt their
practice so that we might continue to live together in the future.
Architecture after COVID is the first book to explore the
pandemic's transformative impacts upon the architectural
profession. It raises new questions about the intertwined natures
of architectural production, science, society, and spatial practice
- questions which had lain latent in the profession for years, but
which the COVID pandemic brought to the fore. The book explores how
the pandemic modified the spatial conventions of everyday life in
the city, and looks in detail at how it has transformed building
typologies. It also shows how the continuing risk of pandemics
leads us to rethink the social dimension of architecture and urban
design; and ultimately proposes a radical re-evaluation of the
conditions of architectural practice - making a compelling argument
about the changing agency of architectural design and the
importance of designers in re-ordering the post-pandemic world.
Packed with interviews and case-studies from a wide range of
contemporary design practices, Architecture after COVID will
inspire debates among architectural practitioners and theorists
alike. The broad view of the approach and the depth of the
professional issues at stake mean that this book will offer key
insights for the discipline long beyond the scope of the COVID
pandemic - as it explores the long-lasting bond between city,
science and society as the 'new normal' begins to emerge.
