Take a look at how the pandemic has redefined much of the built environment
Over the past two years covid-19 has redefined the world in which we live and the way we live within it.
In response to this, 黑洞社区 went on a deep-dive into how the pandemic has affected different building types and whether changes to design, construction and requirements will be long-lasting.
Throughout the series we delved into the sectors that boomed from the pandemic - such as healthcare and logistics or warehouses - and those whose design has changed as a result of stay-at-home orders such as housing and schools.
We also explored the sectors hardest hit by the pandemic - retail, leisure and commercial - exploring whether the changes in behaviour over the past two years will be cause for irreversible change.
Take a look for yourself.
