Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about profound changes in the daily life of society. In this scenario of uncertainties, the house gained prominence as a space of refuge and defense to face the virus. As people were protected at home, their attention turned to the television’s entertainment programs as an escape gate from the terrible news and the stress set by lockdowns and home office. This article aims to understand how the mitigation strategies imposed by the government influenced the design of television scenarios during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two Brazilians television infotainment programs were analyzed as case studies. A qualitative analysis was made by the empirical study of pictures and videos of the programs. The measurements were defined by anthropometry, the dimension of the human body. As a result, it’s possible to understand the design strategies and the adaptations set by the design team to respond to each phase of the pandemic. The scenarios studied show how the pandemic affected several levels of the human habitat, even the spaces that the viewers aren’t physically present.
