Elastic places and intermediate design.

Abstract

Most of the architectural and urban considerations conceived during and after the COVID pandemic seem to allude to the invention of new development paradigms, alternative to the idea of global city and metropolis. Is this answer really possible or, once again, a gap between architecture and reality that is difficult to bridge is being generated? In the following article, we try to tackle the theme of the post-COVID city starting from the existing one. In particular, starting from the suburbs; neighbourhoods built on the idea of standards that arises from the architecture-health relationship. The design of both housing and public spaces in these areas has often generated abstract places that make social networks difficult to being realized.
