Coronavirus Made Visible

Today we share some ideas around an article we published in arkollective.com about the impact of Coronavirus in Public Spaces and Buildings.

I recommend you to read it also, because it has other insights on the same matter.

The coronavirus is an invisible menace but it is having a visible effect in aspects that relate directly with design and the way we move around the places we share.

It also generated the production of some improvised building solutions and affected the way we use our homes and cities.

We hope you enjoy it!
