Behavior Settings of Classroom of Department of Architectural Engineering at Pontianak State Polytechnic in The New Normal

Abstract

—At this time, learning in the Department of Architectural Engineering at the Pontianak State Polytechnic is carried out in a hybrid manner (online and offline). Practical courses such as the Design Studio are carried out offline but are not effective considering that classroom settings such as furniture still use pre-pandemic settings; this still allows the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. This study aims to prepare for the new normal and prepare for the learning process, especially the classroom setting, both for the drawing studio and the theory room, following health protocols. The research method is the descriptive qualitative research method, a form of research aimed at describing or describing existing phenomena, both natural and engineered. The results obtained are recommendations for modeling space settings based on layout furniture where these results can be applied to New Normal conditions and in the future.
