Buildings Are Making People Sick — Here’s How

Buildings are essentially large containers of air. Even though people, pets, and furniture can occupy them too, in some buildings, almost 50% of their volume is given over to air controlling and conditioning equipment. This is a space that no humans enter. Today, air seems pretty dangerous when we think about its role in the transmission COVID. Which, by the way, is much more frequent inside of buildings than outside of them. This means architects and buildings must accept their role as key players in the fight against the disease. Of course, this isn’t the first time air has been dangerous and architects have been asked to act. This video traces some important historical milestones through history when air was scary and architects reacted. Examples of evolving ventilation codes, nuclear fallout, Legionnaire’s Diseases, the Pompidou Center, and others offer poignant reminders that this isn’t completely new and architects can respond in exceedingly inspired ways to dangerous air. _Membership_ Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @stewarthicks   _About the Channel_ Architecture with Stewart is a YouTube journey exploring architecture’s deep and enduring stories in all their bewildering glory.
