Workshops
Prophylactic spaces is a new term in architecture that appeared after the global pandemic of COVID – 19. This term will reshape the future of architecture and it is becoming an integral part of the future city resilience. Adapting that term in designs became mandatory for architects in order to endure the current pandemic without further spread of the virus among occupants of the space.
As we are currently preparing ourselves to welcome the new academic year, it is very important to insure a non-infectious and safe environment between students and faculty members. Therefore, our workshop aimed to discuss and create prophylactic academic spaces within the context of MSA University.
Registration is limited for already registered authors/attendees and 4th and 5th cycle undergraduates MSAians.
