Watch: Architecture's Role in a Post-Pandemic World

At a time when city, public and commercial spaces have lost their sheen and the home (and its architecture) have become a refuge against a raging pandemic, how are architectural practices responding to the shift? How deep is the connection to what we build and our collective health, and how should one look at the future when it comes to pandemics and design?

In this second episode of the Houzz Architecture & Design Resilience Series, three renowned Indian architects and Houzz professionals, Abin Chaudhuri of Abin Design Studio, Narayan Moorthy of Kumar Moorthy & Associates and Madhav Raman of Anagram Architects, discuss the role of architecture in a post-COVID world with Houzz India editor Preeti Singh.

The key issues discussed were:
1. Manifestations of the impact of health, disease spread and pandemics on the future of architectural practices.
2. How architectural practices can not just survive but also thrive in and beyond this new normal.
3. How architecture and urban design should approach the issue of density.
4. How architects are reimagining parks, public buildings, hospitals, other communal spaces.
