My Online Lecture: “Public Health and Health Technologies in Housing for the Post-Pandemic World” at the Medipol University-Department of Architecture

on


It was another great joy for me to connect with Dr. Pelin Karacar, my wonderful colleague and her impressive architecture students yesterday! I can't thank enough for her and her assistants' valuable time and effort to make this lecture happen.

From recent reports and surveys by AIA on healthy (multifamily) home design strategies, new house trends (2020-2021) after the pandemic experience and knowledge resources by "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention" on health housing, to research studies by MIT scientists  & Harvard Uni.-School of Public Health on healthy indoor settings, and contributions of data science & machine learning to healthy housing design and planning, architectural space requirements of telemedicine at home, etc., we talked and discussed how we can create more healthy house environments for "2021 and beyond". I admired architecture students' active participations and their creative comments for house design for the post-pandemic world! For "new pedagogical" methods/approaches in architecture (design) education (in 2021 and beyond), collaboration with architecture students will be "essential" more than ever. (This is how I thought after my online lecture experience yesterday).

[It was one of the highest turnouts of my online lectures so far:

With “103” attendees, we came together and discussed healthy home strategies in architecture yesterday!]
