Attend the C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute Colloquium on Digital Transformation Science Webinar Thursday, May 6 at 3:00 p.m. U.S. Central time. Presenting "Bringing Social Distancing to Light: Architectural Interventions for COVID-19 Containment" will be Stefana Parascho and Corina Tarnita from Princeton University.
Registration is required to attend this event.
Abstract: With the spread of COVID-19, social distancing has become an integral part of our everyday lives. Worldwide, efforts are focused on identifying ways to reopen public spaces, restart businesses, and reintroduce physical togetherness. We believe that architecture plays a key role in the return to a healthy public life by providing a means for controlling distances between people. Making use of computational processing power and data accessibility, we investigate how we can promote healthy and efficient movement through public spaces. Our approach is dynamic, to easily accommodate developing requirements and programmatic changes within these spaces.
