Dejan Todorović (1990) M Arch, holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Architecture from the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture (2014), and is currently a PhD candidate in Scene Design at University of Novi Sad – Faculty of Technical Sciences. Since late 2017 he is employed as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture, and is taking an active part in design studio and elective courses within Undergraduate, Master and Single-Cycle 5-Year study programmes of Architecture and Master study programmes of Architecture and Interior Architecture.
The paper addresses the shift in architectural education regarding the need to develop new approaches in teaching methodology, improve curricula, and make advancements in new learning arenas and digital environments. The research is based on the assumption that online workshops could offer a unique learning experience for students in higher education. Accordingly, workshops are considered an essential element in teaching emergency design. As a result, this can produce broader and more innovative solutions to COVID-19 challenges regarding social distancing, limited movements, regulated use of public space, and suspended daily activities. The theoretical notions of emergency design and education for sustainable design enabled the identification of research perspectives and spatial levels to be taken as a starting point of the workshop “COVID-19 Challenges: Architecture of Pandemic” that was conducted by the University of Belgrade—Faculty of Architecture in April 2020. The critical review of the workshop’s procedural and substantial aspects led to identifying four main COVID-19 design challenges perceived in performance, innovation, alteration, and inclusion. Additionally, the paper’s findings concern the identification of learning potentials and limitations arising from a current topic affecting global society, for which neither solutions nor adequate answers in the field of architecture and urbanism have been found.
