How do you think our Architectural spaces would change after COVID 19?
My Colleagues From Architecture /urban Design Academia
During this COVID 19 Pandemic, we as Academics faced a big problem of Teaching and Direct interaction with our students, especially in the design Courses, and we started using online tools, social media, and academic Portals, to communicate with our students, many challenges were facing all of us, rather than technical issues of internet quality, How was your online teaching Experience(s)?
Although The impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic are still being understood, yet it seems clear that this crisis is making a mark on cities, physically and socially, that will echo for generations, as Architects, Urban Designers, Urban Planners, Academics, and from your view, how Our cities/City Life will change after this Pandemic?
