Evolution of Architecture with COVID-19 Breakthrough

With the outbreak of COVID-19 and its massive impact on the entire world, the carousel of Modern Architecture ought to see fluctuations. The dimensions of human resilience and public health can not be compromised. Practicing flexibility across public-facing, educational, cultural, and corporate edifices shall be a solution.

Fundamentally, disease-resilience will be a priority in modern design. Architects will have to practice a spectrum that is affordable and accommodative. The functioning of tactical and programmed methods to platform strategic alterations will be a prime step-stone.

Educational institutions are centers of holistic development. They are multi-focus buildings catering to – academic, physical, mental, health, and nutritional facilities. While areas like cafeterias and auditoriums are massive hotspots, negligence can’t be shown even in less-crowded areas. Subsequently, food delivery passages can be built with enough distancing area. Modular classrooms or pod-structure classrooms can be built for efficiency.


 

Incorporate avenues, a trend of hotdesking or hotelier desking can be encouraged. Employees shall be allotted covered cubicles and distant blocks. Collaboration places will be discouraged and HR activities might be conducted virtually. Much focus can be diverted to outdoor complexes to facilitate natural lighting and ventilation – promoting the health and wellness of employees. Apart from this, touchless technology appliances should be installed.




Builders will prioritize future-proof environments and prefer adaptable furniture. Materials will be wisely chosen that are easy to sanitize and possess anti-microbial properties.






Spaces like kitchens, washrooms, and pantries will require innovation implementation. For instance, common dishwashers should be discouraged and multi-layered dishwashers can be installed. 

To conclude, efficacy and efficiency can be introduced in modern infrastructure only through flexibility. Innovation and rightly thought-of approaches will build a lattice with health as a priority.

The myth of ‘We don’t have buildings nowadays like we used to’

"We just don't build buildings like we used to."  Sometimes it’s a comment on quality—an assertion that houses aren’t as durable today as they once were—and sometimes it’s a comment on style—a belief that we don’t build houses that are as timeless, tasteful, or beautiful as they used to be. It’s something we say to defend the types of houses we grew up in or dream of someday living in.   I t’s a statement that contains some truth, but it also misses crucial context about the material conditions, functionality, and style trends of the past.   When comparing today's buildings to yesterday's, it's important to consider labor, production, and technology. Often, when people say that how old buildings are better than new buildings and how they are still intact,  they invoke a change like labor: The buildings of yesteryear were built by “skilled craftsmen,” and today’s houses are built by “unskilled labor.” There’s not much difference between how we built popular spe...

ARCHITECTURE AND HILLY AREAS

Image
Buildings in hilly regions are the major challenge for architects. The building and the construction have to be structurally strong enough to resist the topography and frequent seismic tremors and also bear the load of the building and as well as the building should be aesthetically attractive for tourists. According to the topography and requirement of the building, design, and planning plays a major role.  Some of the design approaches to be taken care of are settlement patterns, materials used in various spaces, open interactive spaces, sloping roofs, interior designs (rooms), retaining walls, etc. No doubt that the concrete has many advantages like strength, durability, weather resistance parameter and has been accepted as better construction material and has completely outdated the vernacular techniques and materials. But due to a lack of proper guidelines about the use of materials and techniques, may lead to enormous loss of life and property in the wake...
