Abstract

The new conceptions that distance the meaning of health from the pure absence of disease, added to the citizen's responsibility in complying with the Sustainable Development Agenda for the year 2030, are the guides of this article. The architect, striving to design spaces that promote the feeling of well-being, when faced with if with exceptional situations such as the COVID-19 Pandemic, you need to expand your repertoire and understand the individual for whom you are designing and characteristics of the future environment. It is understood that periods of exception accelerated changes in the way of projecting. The interdisciplinary approach, which brings knowledge from other areas or specialties, is seen as a potential resource in facing challenges and conditioning factors to reach adequate solutions. This article derives from a master's thesis and aims to: Understand and write which guidelines can be considered important for the elaboration of projects of collaborative work environments aimed at emerging generations. It uses a qualitative methodological approach, based on a narrative review of the literature; hypothetical-deductive and dialectic. As a result of reflective action, “layers” or “dimensions” of analyzes are obtained for the elaboration of design guidelines. The article also brings an "Experience Report" that occurred at a critical moment of the Pandemic which, despite not being in the studied locus, interprets the user's observation of a certain environment, in this case, of health, collaborating with the identification of questions for the elaboration of future projects, necessarily and urgently, more humanist.
