This book offers a comprehensive design history of the Covid-19 pandemic, exploring how design interventions played a pivotal role in addressing the crisis. It highlights the shift of design from mere aesthetic purposes to a critical tool for survival during the pandemic. Through various projects, including masks, shelters, and sanitizers, the authors illustrate how design responded to urgent needs, often superseding economic considerations.
