SUMMARY:
A discussion among European, American and Japanese Architects hosted by Arper Japan’s Managing Director Alessandro Borelli. With the participation of Natassa Lianou and Ermis Chalvatzis (LC Architects). This open discussion-type presentation tackles the timely and pertinent issue of new challenges in the workplace created as a result of the current global COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The panelist will lead and discuss the following issues with the global audience to seek ideas and solutions that will contribute to health, safety and welfare in our workplace:

a) How COVID-19 could impact workplace design?
b) Working from home is the new normal now. But is it here to stay? Or is it just a temporary solution to the COVID-19 pandemic?
c) Will this global remote work experiment completely change the way we live and work? Is the future of work - remote?
d) With the COVID19 outbreak and the majority of workforce now working remotely, leaders have realized that a good percentage of the staff can work from home and continue to deliver results efficiently. This new normal poses the questions as to whether there is a need to maintain offices as before. Will we need to adopt new strategies to make our offices more humane, comfortable, and safe?
e) Pandemic-proofing offices could involve short-term fixes, new working patterns and long-term design upgrades that put hygiene at the heart of workplace planning.
f) Arper is trying to cope with the situation proposing some solutions that include products like Kiik, Cila Go and Paravan.
