INTENT
ENCOMPASSING THE VIRUS
The Design aims at a COVID ISOLATION UNIT that can be deployed and transported easily and hence the choice of materials and construction technology and cost is kept in mind while designing the unit The challenge was to design innovative isolation cells in quarantine Facilities to help subdue the effects of the outbreak on existing infrastructure. DESIGN APPROACH One of the main reasons for the spread of COVID-19 is the lack of proper infrastructure. Hence, spaces and facilities are needed where isolation of the exposed victim can be carried out since contact tracing is the key to breaking he chain. Hence we must come up with temporary solutions to ensure that suspected victims are isolated in a space that contains cross-contamination and also takes into consideration the mental health effects of solitary confinement.
