ABSTRACT

The existence of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the world of design. The current habit and design process are pushed to be able to adapt new habits in the post-pandemic era. Public areas such as shared workspace have become one of the prioritized places for implementing health protocols as they work collectively. This study aims to identify the most optimal solution so that the existing building design can meet the health protocol standards in the new era of normality. Through precedent study, this research analyzes the ventilation system of co-working space in Bandung. The observation focused on public areas that have the longest duration of use. It was found based on the study that the design of open workspaces is relatively safe with cross ventilation to dilute the air. However, enclosed space design requires additional attributes such as UVC lamps to kill germs to clean the air.
