Abstract(s)
Among our guest authors are academics from different disciplines and professional
experience. From the psychologists Rosa Afonso and Margarida Lima, passing through the infectious
disease specialist who lived through the pandemic in a hospital environment António
Maio, to Isabel Calado, with her focus on visual culture, and finally to UBI professors
Miguel Santiago Fernandes, an architect with vast professional and
pedagogical experience. To hey all accepted the pioneering challenge of relating architecture and covid-19, thus embarking on this exploratory interdisciplinary journey.
This academic experience and its main results necessarily reflect a still-hot view,
with SARS-Cov 2 cases and deaths still on the rise in many countries. Still, it may be
useful to keep the debate going. After having reached a promising control of the virus
impacts, thanks to the massive vaccinations programs, it is about time to understand
to what extent we, as a society, can do better regarding hospitals and healthcare
unities’ infrastructures; and, accordingly, investigate, in between the intersection of
complementary field of study and the very history and grounds of the architectural
discipline, how the pandemic could permeate architecture
