Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate COVID-19 as a super crisis in the design and management of places.

Design/methodology/approach

This theory-driven work outlines why and how, by treating COVID-19 as a super crisis, the immunological view rises in priority and swiftly ushers in short- and long-term implications for space design and place management.

Findings

First, this paper looks at the short-term impact of COVID-19 upon space and place management in addressing how porous bubbling, stippling and flexible curtaining respond to immediate retrofitting needs during the pandemic. Using the concept of COVID-19-induced collective trauma, this paper draws attention to health-care facilities, schools, workplaces, commercial buildings and public outdoor spaces. These sites require short-term improvisation in place and space design and will, where the collective trauma of COVID-19 leaves strong traces, require long-term redesign and rethinking.

Social implications

As a super crisis, COVID-19 generates contradictions in the existing trend in space and place studies from the notion of space and place as a container to one focusing on “flow.” A focus on flow highlights a focus on space and place as adaptable to changes in flow, especially as augmented and mediated by technology.

Originality/value

This treatment of COVID-19 as a super crisis is intended to stimulate the design and management of spaces and places in the post-COVID-19 period.

COVID-19 作为超级危机：对场所管理的影响

目的

本文的目的是将 COVID-19 作为场所设计和管理中的超级危机进行调查。

设计/方法/方法

这项由理论驱动的工作概述了为什么以及如何通过将 COVID-19 视为超级危机，免疫学观点得到重视，并迅速对空间设计和场所管理产生短期和长期影响。

发现

首先，本文着眼于 COVID-19 对空间和场所管理的短期影响，以解决在大流行期间多孔冒泡、点画和灵活窗帘如何响应即时改造需求的问题。本文使用 COVID-19 引起的集体创伤的概念，将注意力引向医疗保健设施、学校、工作场所、商业建筑和公共户外空间。这些场地需要在场地和空间设计上进行短期即兴创作，而在 COVID-19 的集体创伤留下强烈痕迹的地方，需要长期重新设计和重新思考。

社会影响

作为一场超级危机，COVID-19 在空间和地方研究的现有趋势中产生了矛盾，从空间和地方作为容器的概念到关注“流动”的概念。对流动的关注突出了对空间和地点的关注，因为它们可以适应流动的变化，尤其是通过技术增强和调节。

原创性/价值

这种将 COVID-19 视为超级危机的做法旨在刺激后 COVID-19 时期空间和场所的设计和管理。
