Abstract

The Corona virus has a clear and effective impact on many aspects of life, as it changed the rhythm of the entire world in a few days as a result of its rapid spread. Administrative buildings are among the institutions that have been greatly affected by the pandemic, as some administrative buildings have been completely paralyzed from the first day of the closure of cities, worldwide, and others have continued to provide services as a result of the readiness of these institutions in terms of their technical and electronic infrastructure as well as their human resources for that, as they changed those The crisis is the future institutional concepts and orientations, in the way they are managed, prepared for any potential risks, and focus on providing electronic services and smart technologies.
Epidemics effectively affect human life and behavior, which entails a major change in his life and the need to adapt to every new that occurs, as epidemics have changed our built environment due to fear of infection. Office workplaces and companies are among the most prominent places that have been clearly and effectively affected by the emerging corona virus, as the virus had a clear and long-term impact on how people work and gather, and from this point of view, the study aims to search for design ideas and appropriate trends for office workplaces to provide the required protection from virus attacks. And continuing to add more layers in the defense system to our operating environment in order to achieve safe spatial spacing with high productivity functional convergence.
This is done by relying on the inductive and analytical approach of theoretical ideas, previous studies, architectural practices and recommendations of health organizations that are concerned with the issue of securing administrative spaces in light of the Corona pandemic, with the aim of reaching a set of standards and foundations that will be followed to deal with the emerging Corona virus in administrative buildings. In addition to knowing the best trends for architectural solutions in administrative buildings after the spread of the virus from the point of view of researchers.
