Air/Light/Greenspace: Post-COVID Architecture

The integration of air, light, and greenspace has consistently motivated the work of Steven Holl Architects (SHA). During a period of global pandemic, the need to carefully consider these aspects of the built environment is greater than ever before. In this lecture, Steven Holl, FAIA, will present on past projects of SHA that hold potential lessons for a post-COVID architecture, focusing on design principles such as the embrace of greenspace and landscape, maximizing fresh air and natural light, the facilitation of open circulation for social spaces, and ecological integration and innovation.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize challenges and opportunities the design profession has to address the pandemic.

• Identify best practices on building features that enhance health and well-being

• Demonstrate design solutions that accommodate safe social gathering and circulation.

• Empower ecological integration through innovative design practices
