2020 became a landmark year in more ways than one. The global health crisis linked to the coronavirus epidemic completely disrupted our behaviour. Travel was restricted to only strictly necessary journeys and these were limited to close to home. Some activities were allowed but social distancing was enforced. In a few days, everything came to halt for an indefinite period of time. In France, the first measures, which began in March, profoundly changed our lifestyles. The country entered into a lockdown phase and this situation had a profound impact on the way we consumed, worked and travelled. We no longer had access to places of culture, educational establishments. As a teacher in an architecture school, these interdictions were the start of a radical upheaval in the way we taught. How could we react to these measures that would take effect only a few hours later? Were we well prepared?
