COVID-19 has already transformed our lives at home and at work. From a current discussion on the CSI Community, CSI members discussed what they think its long-term impact will be.<\/p>\n

It is proven that we can do a lot more design work remotely. I think it would have taken 10 years for my firm to be this comfortable with this much staff working remotely, but we are seeing that our folks are still quite productive.<\/p>\n

In fact, our firm signed up for the Architecture 2030 commitment in December, and our internal firm leadership review of the required sustainability plan happened about three weeks into our new stay-at-home protocol. The Partners are now talking about everybody doing a minimum of two days a week from home after this passes, just for the savings in fossil fuel consumption. I am certain they would not have come up with that before we had 100 percent of our staff working remotely.
\nCam Featherstonhaugh CSI, CDT, AIA<\/em><\/p>\n

The yin-yang of COVID-19
\n<\/strong>Yin and yang (or yin-yang) is a complex relational concept in Chinese culture applicable to current business practices in this era of COVID-19. This cosmic duality sets two opposing and complementing principles against each other in solving business and life situations. I would argue they are actually symbiotic relationships and are dependent upon each other.<\/p>\n

The ying<\/em>
\nTechnology has become the great tool for communication, data processing, and design. It enables complex tasks to be performed quickly, efficiently, and correctly (for the most part). It has become necessary for business, entertainment, and life in general. How do we live in a world without Facebook and other electronic forms of social media?<\/p>\n

The yang<\/em>
\nOur reliance on technology has negatively impacted social, business, and reasoning skills.<\/p>\n

Critical thinking is a necessary skill that is being lost, but is even more necessary in this COVID-19 period, when we may not have access to electronic tools or we need to consider options beyond the tools we have at our immediate disposal.<\/p>\n

The conclusion<\/em>
\nTotal thinking is the implementation of this duality of critical thinking and electronic tools. Knowing how to use them together to solve the difficult problems we currently face is the solution. It is the marriage of old school and new school. Do not be stuck with only one way to solve any problem.
\nDennis Hall FCSI, Lifetime Member, CCS, CCCA, CDT, FAIA, LEED<\/em><\/p>\n

Great points Dennis! Your statement \u201cDo not be stuck with only one way to solve any problem\u201d is a good reminder for all to always have a plan B. With COVID-19 impacting how we work, live and breathe, it is making all of us rethink what\u2019s truly important and how much we have taken for granted.
\nAlana Sunness Griffith, FCSI, Distinguished Member, CCPR, CDT<\/em><\/p>\n

There are a few things that I see coming out of this in these areas.<\/p>\n

How we work
\n<\/strong>As Cam mentions, the projects do not seem to be falling apart just because we are not all in the same office.\u00a0Our office has been resistant to staggered work hours (with few exceptions) and I think there will be new acceptance of that, especially so people can commute during non-peak hours.\u00a0We have actually had higher remote \u2018attendance\u2019 at our all-staff meetings than we typically get in person. We are exploring the use of remote cameras for our site visits.<\/p>\n

The work we do
\n<\/strong>Office planning has been moving toward stuffing as many people into the space as possible, and I think we are going to see owners want to provide their staff with more space.\u00a0The idea of \u2018hot-desking\u2019 may be a quick fad that is over with (will anyone ever want to share a desk again?).<\/p>\n

The lives we live
\n<\/strong>I think everyone knows how much of a waste commuting is, and around our office I hear more people are sleeping better, eating better, and getting more exercise.\u00a0We might want to structure our lives going forward to incorporate those things a little more.
\nAnne Whitacre FCSI, CCS, LEED AP<\/em><\/p>\n

Positive outcomes of shelter-in-place era
\n<\/strong>(In my humble opinion)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Extra time allotted to prepare taxes.<\/li>\n
  2. Stimulus check…well for some of us.<\/li>\n
  3. Healthier daily routine.\u00a0Extra sleep, less stress, and more home cooked meals.\u00a0Also, for those of us that usually sit behind a desk all day, we are now more enticed to go for a walk.<\/li>\n
  4. Immediate family relationships strengthened.\u00a0 Okay, maybe challenged, but hopefully for the better.<\/li>\n
  5. Less earth vibration<\/a>.\u00a0Less vibrating of earth has given seismologists extra sensitive readings and data.\u00a0I would think these can be used as a new norm against future readings.<\/li>\n
  6. Air quality index<\/a> (AQI) has greatly improved. Air pollution has dropped 30 percent. Ozone is strengthened.\u00a0It will be interesting to see how quickly it returns to previous conditions.\u00a0What effect will this have on global warming?<\/li>\n
  7. Internet services<\/a> will become a priority.<\/li>\n
  8. Increased development of drones, robots, and artificial intelligence (AI). Increased use of internet of things (IoT) to lessen the need for centralized data storage maintenance and security.<\/li>\n
  9. Biometrics increased<\/a> for secured technology.\u00a0Decentralized data will become more of a security concern at IoT nodes.<\/li>\n
  10. Hopefully an upgrade to the 30-year-old computer system at the unemployment office.\u00a0Y2K COBOL programmers are once again in high demand.\u00a0However, it seems that paying people for not working has never been a priority.<\/li>\n
  11. Increased telecommuting.\u00a0Telecommuting has finally become acceptable to businesses that usually discourage it, thinking employees will not be as productive.\u00a0Many seem to have discovered they are more productive, but would this trend continue once people leave their houses, and lose that concentrated focus?\u00a0I think some personalities were made for working at home and some were not.<\/li>\n
  12. Video conferencing has become ubiquitous and norm.\u00a0This has forced many who were resistant to current technological trends to join the modern world.<\/li>\n
  13. Attendance levels of meetings and communications increased.\u00a0There are fewer pending distractions that keep people from being available for a video-conference, since they are always, \u2018in their office.\u2019<\/li>\n
  14. Hot-desking\/desk sharing becomes discouraged.\u00a0This has always been a practice undesired by employees but encouraged by management.\u00a0Now that sharing space is no longer considered safe, employees can legitimately request to have their own private workspace, if they must work at the office.<\/li>\n
  15. Home-schooling no longer ostracized.\u00a0Everyone with kids will now have firsthand experience of objectively understanding the realities of home-schooling<\/a>.\u00a0Unfortunately, this will be minus the management and scheduling of extracurricular activities.<\/li>\n
  16. Training webinars have increased access to current information that improves overall job knowledge base, which improves the levels of the knowledge base across all employees.<\/li>\n
  17. Universities will further develop and expand their digital offerings. Hopefully this will increase education and lower costs.<\/li>\n
  18. Local sustainability awareness<\/a> rises for domestic product supply, and less reliance on other regions.\u00a0If we cannot support ourselves, we cannot support anyone else either.<\/li>\n
  19. Remote web-cam observations increase record keeping for construction site work status and progress observation documentation.
