| Summary: | In the beginning of the pandemic, there was one internet
meme circulating around the social media that says,
‘Until now, the best vaccine against Covid-19 is made by
architects.’ Of course, architects have no literal capability nor the capacity to create the so-called ‘best vaccine’ against COVID-19 or anything in that nature. The wishful remark is just referring to our homes, which were indeed made by architects. The rhetoric does not only imply that people would be much safer when they were at home, but
it also hints the importance of architecture and the idea of a personal space. In a much larger context, this ‘new normal’ may have just redefined how we look at and reconnect
with our space. Architects could be inspired simply by
observing how people are exploiting or behaving around
their space in the mid-pandemic era. |
