quarantine urbanism
urban dwellers during quarantine
During quarantine everything changed in the urban and architectural environment. So I tried to record and map the differences before and during quarantine time. Dwellers started to stay longer on their balconies and use common spaces in the apartment buildings as a last attempt to maintain their social life. Urban movements and the relation to the public and private space also changed.
If we tried to
map the living spots of Athenian dwellers during the quarantine, we would soon
assume that the urban space they interact with, is apparently smaller and less
extended as it was before the quarantine. Depending on their social or
occupation background, the dwellers have different approaches in the same city.
