New Spatialities in a Time of Plague
Tammy Olhson De Fine is always searching in her work for new perspectives on architecture’s role in supporting life: through connection, imagination, nature, food, play, people, curiosity, and providing a sense of wellbeing. ‘New Spatialities in a Time of Plague’ was a groupwork project that sought an architectural response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the inability of people living in informal settlements to isolate in order to survive. The lightweight structure was designed to be affordable, easy to transport, quick to erect, and critically, easy to replicate with any available materials
