About this book

This book gives an overview of the shifting paradigm from traditional design techniques and standards to new values and methods that occurred in response to confronting the COVID-19 pandemic. The theoretical studies of the phenomenon of "new normality" in architecture, urbanism and social sciences are a source of knowledge for researchers, professors and students in the fields of architecture, urbanism and interior design. On-site applications of post-COVID-19 structures will be interesting for students, practitioners, developers and city managers. The issue of online design teaching and learning provides a set of practices that can be applied by both educators and trainees. The book also is useful for readers who are interested in recent trends in architecture and interior design: it provides a deep analysis of recent changes in architecture, which aim to make the environment disease-free and the space habitable during the long periods of lockdown.
