COVID-19, Architecture, Interior Design, New Normal, Remote Working:
The New Normal: a period replete with uncertainty where our standard methods and means of our daily routine have been disrupted. The office is a busy breakfast table, daylight is a blessing or a curse, and our privacy is only partially protected by the odd party-wall. As a graduate student of architecture, this is a fascinating time. While I don’t discount the damage the pandemic has done, it has provided opportunities to reflect on our previous ways of living within the built environment. In these reflections society can start to identify the role of architecture in the New Normal.
