Delineating The Impact on Design Parameters Due to Covid-19

Abstract

The lockdown imposed due to Covid-19 has caused economic and social challenges around the world. It has adversely impacted the real estate and construction sector. The ongoing pandemic has created a need to reassess the building design strategies to mitigate the threat of the virus. The novelty of the research lies in ranking the design parameters with regards to the pandemic, to provide better design solutions for all stakeholders. This research aims to identify, assess and rank the impact due to Covid-19 on different design parameters in architecture. An analysis of the identified parameters has been carried out by surveying architects and occupants. Recommendations have been made to provide better design solutions for the pandemic age.
