Throughout the period of social withdrawal when each person, in a different way, had to tackle such an emergency as the pandemic, the proposed paper offers some reflections on the possibility that a non-resolving condition of the emergency will likely happen shortly. Namely, that an extremely catastrophic eventuality will occur. What would happen for humans and therefore for architecture if Covid-19 were not defeated? What are the consequences if humans, forced into persistent social distancing, are only allowed to live in a delimited, circumscribed, measured, virtual space?
