Abstract

The COVID-19 health emergency was a radical unplanned experiment into new ways of dwelling and caring for each other, unveiling the fragility of our professional and non-professional caring systems and their importance in maintaining the social fabric. Here we draw upon our design and research work prior to and during the COVID-19 health crisis to reflect on Barcelona’s care response to the pandemic in the context of the city’s superblocks urban strategy. From such learnings, we discuss the potential benefits of designing for territorialized care supported by digital infrastructures to help maintain and strengthen care’s relational qualities and thereby increase community resilience to prepare, survive, and grow from crises.

摘要

COVID-19紧急医疗卫生计划是一项彻底的计划外实验，旨在探索新的居住和相互照料方式，揭示了我们专业和非专业照护系统的脆弱性及其在维护社会结构方面的重要性。在这里，我们利用在COVID-19健康危机之前和期间的设计和研究工作，来反思巴塞罗那在城市超级街区城市战略背景下对大流行的护理反应。通过这些学习，我们讨论了在数字基础架构支持下进行区域护理设计的潜在好处，以帮助维持和加强护理的关系质量，从而增强社区应对危机的能力，生存能力以及从危机中成长的能力。
