The meeting aims to investigate how Covid-19 has impacted the world
with particular attention to Mediterranean Countries; and how the
community of architects reacted and the good practices implemented.
We intend to investigate in particular: Complexity teaching architecture
online - distance learning assessment • Inspiring best practices in
di erent Mediterranean sections • Housing design development versus
Mediterranean societies’ lifestyle (the new idea of “Home” versus work /
educational places) • Impact by di erent “National Associations of
Architects” in the Mediterranean region to the pandemic situation • A
new urban paradigm.
