SPACE IN PANDEMIC: The Use of Indoor & Outdoor Space During the Lockdown in Pandemic
This one-year project is funded by FMV ISIK University is conducted together with SPACE Studies of Planning and Architecture. The aim of the study is to understand the transformation of the space by examining its usage practices during the pandemic process in terms of users’ perceptions and relationships with each other. The study covers the individual’s living space and its immediate surroundings. The immediate surroundings are defined as semi-public spaces (such as balcony, garden etc.) and public spaces close to the individual’s houses.
As part of the research project, international workshops and seminars were held. The use of space and the domestic spatial problems and solutions that arose during the pandemic have been investigated in the workshops. The workshops analysed our spaces beyond physical boundaries and reconsider our living environments both in and outside. The seminars have been prepared and delivered by experts from various disciplines. For the workshops and seminars organised within the project, please check SPACE Joint Events or the project’s website. The outcomes of the project can be found on this page.
