The Post-Pandemic Dining Experience – Connecting Enhanced Safety and Experiential Dining
The goal of this thesis is to investigate restaurant design in the aftermath of Coronavirus (COVID-19), ensuring safety for both the staff as well as guests. How will programming, aesthetics and materiality be impacted by Coronavirus in new or existing restaurants? A comparative analysis of materials will serve to reveal which materials are more durable and cleanable than others.
