Summary:
This book explores the pandemic's transformative impacts upon the architectural profession. It raises new questions about the intertwined natures of architectural production, science, society, and spatial practice – questions which had lain latent in the profession for years, but which the COVID pandemic brought to the fore. The book explores how the pandemic modified the spatial conventions of everyday life in the city, and looks in detail at how it has transformed building typologies. It also shows how the continuing risk of pandemics leads us to rethink the social dimension of architecture and urban design; and ultimately proposes a radical re-evaluation of the conditions of architectural practice – making a compelling argument about the changing agency of architectural design and the importance of designers in re-ordering the post-pandemic world.

Summary:
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a re-examination of the architecture and design of our interiors from a wide range of perspectives. As containment measures were imposed, the private dwelling became central to the lives of many people worldwide; no longer a simple accumulation of furniture and objects, the interior is an intimate, socio-cultural construction anchored in a precise moment of space and time. A text by Swiss architect Philippe Rahm, who has long worked on climate phenomena and is now looking at its relationship with the pandemic, is among the ten articles by international contributors in this issue, guest edited by design historian Penny Sparke.

Summary:
When the world entered pandemic lockdown in spring 2020, Robyn Maynard and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson began writing each other letters—a gesture sparked by a desire for kinship and connection in a world shattering under the intersecting crises of pandemic, police killings, and climate catastrophe. These letters soon grew into a powerful exchange about where we go from here. Ths book is a captivating and visionary work—part debate, part dialogue, part lively and detailed familial correspondence between two razor-sharp writers. By articulating to each other Black and Indigenous perspectives on our unprecedented here and now, and reiterating the long-disavowed histories of slavery and colonization that have brought us to this moment, Maynard and Simpson create something new: an urgent demand for a different way forward, and a poetic call to dream up other ways of ordering earthly life.
