Lo spazio del burn-out

Abstract

In this paper, spatial, architectural, and infrastructural solutions will be discussed as possible answers to reduce stress, nervous breakdown, and burnout risks caused by the lockdown. The pandemic has forced millions of people to share spaces and functions in the same environment leading to significant psychophysical discomfort. We propose alternative scenarios, actions, and policies declined in an inter-scalar way (territorial, urban, and domestic) through the biophilic design approach. Through the proposal and analysis of some cases – considered best practices – we show how the connection with the natural elements can become the cornerstone of a healing process, also supported by public interventions of digital infrastructure.
