2020-05-27Working From Home
As an architecture student at Wentworth, it was definitely a bummer to hear that our Summer semester was going to be completely online. I remembered asking myself how such an interactive and hands-on program was suddenly going to shift to an online format. The quick shift was not easy to grasp at first, especially with the inability to work with my peers in a normal studio setting. But, as the semester progressed, it became the “new normal.” The picture attached illustrates the life of an architecture student from a remote setting; the same clutter of materials, utensils, tools, and snacks invaded my desk, with the only absence being real human interaction. Through the pandemic, that is definitely the one thing I have missed the most about school, and I’m sure many others can relate. Now that working from home has become the new normal, I wonder how the shift back to in-person learning will shape the future. It will be interesting to see the changes we go through as we try to create a world that is more prepared for situations like COVID moving forward.
