The brief is open. It can either be alterations & additions, or new buildings / spaces that fall within the categories below. You can enter as a team, an individual, student or a professional. You can also enter multiple entries. The question to be addressed is what should architecture be beyond COVID-19.
-Medical facilities: Current medical infrastructure is struggling to keep up with the sudden increase in demand. The design also does not provide sufficient protection for health workers against contacting the virus. How can we adapt existing medical centers? How should new facilities be designed?
-Housing: All the sudden many homes across the world have become self-isolation facilities. Are our homes equipped to quarantine people? Only the fortunate are lucky enough to contain themselves within a spacious and safe home. There are billions of people who will have to self-isolate themselves in slums. What are the possible answers to this design challenge?
-Public space: Many public spaces in 1st world countries have suddenly become voids. This is testament to the idea that the we must change our approach and rethink how we create public space. Public space in slums are not able to become spaces of protection. How do we re-design public spaces to be rapidly reinvented into new uses to counter pandemics? How do we design social space with social distancing in mind?
-Transport facilities: Public transport as we know it will change . Airports, taxi ranks, bus terminals, harbors etc. across the world have come to a standstill as these buildings are ideal breeding grounds for the transmission of COVID-19. Do we design a new world where we limit transport, or do we redesign these facilities to allow us to move around, preventing us from contracting viruses?
-Workplace: Many homes have become isolated offices during numerous lock down across the world. Is this the future of the workplace? How does this effect our homes and daily lives? Can homes be better equipped as multi-functional spaces?
