ABSTRACT

Over time, architecture has been debunked. People do not consult an architect to design their homes. They turn to the builders, and some are in the hands of accountants or other professionals who don’t have the criteria for decision-making in design. In the second half of the 20th century, two aspects related to environmental problems became visible. The green one focused on the negative effects of human activity on the natural environment and sustainability; and the blue one, concerned about the effects of environment on the health and well-being of humanity, known as environmental health. Through history, each pandemic has affected humanity by modifying what was already established in architecture and even gave ideas for new furniture proposals to improve the quality of life inside spaces. During the 14th and 18th centuries, the Black Death was one of the most lethal plagues in the history of mankind, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, it ravaged various areas of the planet.
