Im working on a big report for a customer about how Covid-19 change interior design and space, and how to deal with it now and in the future. Its such an interesting project, which connect so many aspects of life. Interior design, nudging design, communication, worklife, psychological areas and how this pandemic impact how we design spaces for now and the future.
Its a lot about humans, how humans interact, how they do not follow rules, about routines and how to guide them towards the preferable actions.
Its a lot about designing personal safety precautions, and of course about how, when and where to clean spaces. Its also about combining home with IT and work, and who is going to work and especially when they are going to work….for instance expanding the hours at work so people can work in shifts or waves, and spaces can be used.
Im looking at very different aspects of spaces….Spaceplanning, circulation, and how to separate groups…and of course interior and workspaces at home…its so much about materials, did you know that copper is the best material to use, because its self cleaning…and that there is a high demand after plexiglass…that its sold out many many places..
Im thinking about sneeze safe areas, looking at spaces as petri glass dish with virus, social distancing and service…but also about creating spaces for people who love to interact with each others and help them doing it in a safe way…
I love when I get the opportunity to work with complex projects, see the whole picture and find good solutions for my customer..
