One of the most significant shifts in contemporary work culture has been the widespread adoption of remote work. Indeed, even more than two years after the onset of the pandemic, this remains the reality for many workers. While some predicted this would spell the end of the physical office, many companies have opted for a middle ground: a flexible, hybrid model designed to restore in-person collaboration while preserving the benefits of working from home. However, returning to the office in a pandemic context has raised several critical questions—chief among them, how to ensure a safe and healthy workplace?
From an architectural standpoint, several factors must be considered to promote user well-being, such as indoor air quality. Since the coronavirus and other pathogens spread through tiny airborne droplets, robust ventilation and filtration systems are essential to reduce the transmission of infectious aerosols. In recent years, this has been backed by multiple studies and research; without a doubt, science has learned a great deal about airborne transmission during this pandemic.
