Abstract

in early 2020, the Coronavirus epidemic that threatened the whole world spread, forcing the world's population to stay in their homes to limit the spread of the epidemic, which led to a difference in the practice of life activities, the effect of this on the internal architecture space in terms of form and function, in addition to its impact on human physiological health. The research deals with identifying the design solutions available in accordance with the new standards and in accordance with the instructions of the World Health Organization and from the point of view of interior architecture designers, to keep pace with the support of the state’s plan in innovation and development as it is considered one of the priorities of the post-Coronavirus phase, redesigning the interior architecture spaces with sustainable environmental design The proposed design solutions are concentrated for common spaces in use, as well as private and public spaces in preparation for what is being confronted from the developments of the epidemic and limiting the spread of the virus, by activating the use and exploitation of environmental resources and facing the architectural design challenges in line with future developments

studying the apparent behavioral change of individuals in buildings as a result of the spread of the Corona virus, by addressing the new activities that have occurred in their practice in the buildings, and he must determine the new requirements of buildings and the different functional relationships between the required activities, to reach the new standards that need to be applied to design buildings appropriate for all activities and the design foundations of buildings. After the pandemic.

The importance of the research: The research contributes to reaching solutions or scenarios that work to find flexibility in the spaces and sustainable solutions to adapt to the emerging situations and improve the quality of private spaces, allowing the community to participate and interact in the built environment designed for various vital activities.

The research aims mainly to try to come up with a proposal for standards for the design of internal vacuums by highlighting the resulting changes in the standards and various activities as a result of the outbreak of the Corona virus to provide future buildings that suit the various changes in the era of epidemics and their role in the evolution of the lifestyle.
