Designing for Safe Connection During COVID-19 - Senior Housing and Beyond with Patricia Gruits.
In Episode 9 of the Shared Space podcast, Patricia Gruits of MASS design and I explore synergies between designing for COVID-19 and designing for social connection with a special focus on senior living. Understanding the toxic impacts of loneliness and social isolation, designers are looking to help people safety connect. We explore how to design for joy, hope, and connection rather than fear. Not ignoring the dangers, but rather finding the synergies in these.
