Office Render for 6 feet desk layout
Cushman & Wakefield created a working laboratory, in which they tested new ways to adhere to social distancing requirements and hygiene in their Amsterdam headquarters. The core premise is to ensure that it is possible to maintain a distance of six feet, the recommended measurement for safe social distancing, between people at all times communicating information through visual cues and space markings.

Office Space with IoT Data Lighting SystemNewer office buildings can utilize data produced and processed by their lighting control system to capture and analyze data to better understand how their spaces are being used to be able to make informed decisions for a safer reentering strategy. This project takes a deeper look at how automated lighting works in buildings, particularly offices to use the data gained from the light sensors that can impact how people use spaces together post COVID.

Hospital in India waiting room
Noorahealth partners with hospitals to upskill healthcare workers to provide education to patients and their families about their family member’s care plan and health trajectory. Hospital waiting rooms are transformed into classrooms increasing the patient family’s confidence to care for their relatives once released from the hospital. Check-ins are administered as a follow up to assure the patient’s well-being and to answer any questions. In rural and underdeveloped areas this has been a strong support system to increase healing success in patients.

Strade Aperte Plan

Plans for Corso Buenos Aires before and after the Strade Aperte project.
Milan’s Strade Aperte Plan includes “low-cost temporary cycle lanes, new and widened pavements, reduced speed limits, and pedestrian and cyclist priority streets” as a strategy that many different cities are considering and implementing. It will increase space for pedestrians, cyclists and other non-motorized means of transportation, while also reducing traffic congestions and positively impacting air pollution. Typically this involves redesigning the space available re-assigning roads and re-organizing how lanes are assigned. While allowing for social distancing, the re-organization also contributes to a reduction of air pollution.

Another project dedicating more space to pedestrians by shifting its urban organization and programming this pilot project in Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie in Montreal limits a series of blocks to local traffic only, dedicating more space (and giving priority) to pedestrians and cyclists to access schools, parks and local businesses. The project was inspired by Barcelona’s Superblock model.
