Space, Structures and Design in a Post-Pandemic World
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-05581-7 (ISBN)
This book examines the effect of the pandemic on our use of land, interior space, energy, and transportation, as well as on our approach to design, wealth, work, and practice. Author Thomas Fisher also discusses the plagues of institutional racism and climate change that coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic and how these were interrelated. At the same time as all of this, the automation of all or part of many jobs continued unabated, eliminating much of the work that people did before COVID-19 arrived. This text discusses how we might leverage the under-utilized human talent and material assets all around us to rebuild our communities and our economy in more creative ways for a more equitable, resilient future.
Space, Structures, and Design in a Post-Pandemic World will influence anyone interested in how design thinking can transform how we see the world and those looking for new ways to understand what the COVID-19 pandemic means and what opportunities it creates for our environments.
Thomas Fisher is a Professor in the School of Architecture, Director of the Minnesota Design Center, and former Dean of the College of Design at the University of Minnesota. A former President of ACSA, he is also the former Editorial Director of Progressive Architecture magazine, recognized in 2005 as the fifth most published architecture writer in the United States. He has written or edited 11 books, 70 book chapters or introductions, and over 450 articles in professional journals and major publications.
