Proxemics Pre- and Post- Covid

Not only were people more aware of the distance between themselves and others, but people started protecting themselves more with masks, something other countries have been doing even before the pandemic. Although that doesn’t necessarily deal directly with proxemics, it still made people mind the “social distancing” that had been encouraged.
One article titled “Post-Covid City: Proximity Spaces, Sharing Economy and Phygital” shows the change in proximity through a research-based observation. Their findings were similar to what I have already explained but in much more detail.
Overall, the proxemics pre-Covid to post-Covid have gotten larger. People are no longer comfortable with people being as close to them as before the pandemic.
Thank you for reading! Come back next week for another take on the world of Architecture and Design :)
