Leading architects, designers, materials scientists, and health
officials reflect on the influence of COVID-19 on buildings and
cities-and propose solutions to safeguard the built environment
from future pandemics. COVID-19 caused a significant global
disruption of human activities with striking consequences for the
built environment, causing an abrupt fear as it relates to
architecture and building design. Buildings became magnifiers of
contagion instead of shelters for protection. Immunizing the built
environment against contagion is a monumental task requiring a
variety of approaches and disciplinary expertise at multiple scales
of inquiry. In this book, 60 of the world's leading architects,
designers, engineers, materials scientists, and public health
experts contribute to an expansive overview of inoculation
strategies for today's world. These approaches are organized
according to the primary sites of exposure, generally arranged by
scale: surface (materials and tactile interfaces), system
(mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and lighting assemblies), space
(interior and exterior environments), and society (cities, regions,
and the general public). This broad collection of perspectives
elucidates the transformations underway in the built environment-
and offers design strategies to limit the severity of subsequent
pandemics. In this way, the book aims to serve both as a
multidisciplinary snapshot of COVID-19's effects and a guidebook
for future-proofing architecture against widespread disease.
