FLATTEN THE CURVE

A few months into Quarantine, we received a request from a newly formed women’s architecture group, Architits, to participate in a project showcasing how design can address Covid safety measures in public spaces.

This design uses simple curvilinear poly panels to create flexible gathering spaces that can be opened wide or closed off. The material and form of these partitions aims to promote safe connections with other people during a time when many of us are feeling increasingly closed off. The warm transparency of the panels allows visual connections to be maintained with those that you might need keep your distance from. Individuals or groups can section themselves off within a pod of safety, but still look around and be surrounded by others in their community. The curvature of the panels also aids with acoustics, freeing people from the strain of having to scream through their masks.
