Presenting key examples and case studies of how design has responded
to the pandemic, _Design and Covid-19_ offers lessons and approaches
to design for future resilience.
Design has a key role to play in not only creating products to ensure
safety from the pandemic, but also in the creation of complex systems,
new technologies and physical environments that enable us to carry out
our lives and protect populations in the future. _Design and Covid-19_
identifies four key phases of the pandemic to examine how designers
developed systems, services, communications and products as part of
our response to the crisis, whether at an international, national or
community level. Contributors report from a range of international
contexts, including countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia,
detailing how countries responded to the pandemic, introduced social
distancing and lockdowns, developed test, track and trace systems,
implemented new laws and how design and designers responded to the
urgent new challenges that the pandemic created. They explore the
adaptation of designs as communities searched for new ways of
connecting and working through restrictions and social distancing
measures, establishing local mutual aid groups and using social media
to support each other through the pandemic, and go on to focus on
recovery and resilience, analysing the deeper, systemic design
response as industries emerge from lockdown. They explore the need to
reflect on and investigate key issues in order to understand what we
can learn personally, socially, economically and globally from this
unprecedented crisis.
Drawing upon the expertise of scholars from across the globe, _Design
and Covid-19 _explores a wide range of design disciplines to address
the complex societal and global issues highlighted throughout the
pandemic, and to inform new ways of building human and planetary
wellbeing.
