Abstract
Viruses & bacteria have always been, and continue to be a possible threat to humanity, infecting and potentially killing millions. Some diseases are exaggerated while others are fatal, either way, the fear of death plagues our thoughts as a viral pandemic crisis threatens our existential being. In 2020, a virus identified as COVID-19 spread dramatically throughout the world, forcing different states and countries to declare a state of emergency, thereby enforcing a lockdown on its citizens. Such a phenomenon drives people to adapt to new living conditions. As a result, dwellings have been revitalized in their fundamental functions, reassuring us in their essential role as a “safe haven.” Due to the resurfacing of our dwelling’s importance, we started to adapt to different social measures, these measures that have been ignored for some time now are regaining their existential importance ever since they had been lost. This paper discusses the impact of the COVID-19 Virus on our dwelling habitats and social environment in an urban context. Moreover, we show examples of how dwellers remodified their interior spaces to enhance their overall well-being.
