In 2020, the Covid pandemic unfolded and transformed the lives of billions across the world. As the invisible killer marched across continents, causing unprecedented disruption worldwide, architects and designers began rethinking how to design cities and adapt their practice so that we might continue to live together in the 'new normal'. Architecture after Covid is the first book to explore the pandemic's transformative impacts upon the architectural profession. It raises new questions about the intertwined natures of architectural production, science, society and spatial practice -questions which had lain latent in the profession for years, but which Covid brought to the fore. Exploring how Covid modified the spatial conventions of everyday life, it shows how the continuing risk of pandemics leads us to rethink the social dimension of architecture and urban design. Packed with interviews and case-studies from a wide range of contemporary design practices, Architecture after Covid offers key insights for the future of the discipline - proposing a radical re-evaluation of the conditions of architectural practice and making a compelling argument about the changing agency of architectural design and the importance of designers in re-ordering the post-pandemic world.
