Abstract
In the context of the city, we must—especially today—study the types of spaces cities present as public, free and open. With a notion of interiorism, the goals are to explain how urban spaces act as interiors, and why it is important to expose the qualities and characters that compose and define them. The pedagogy mixed with theory and reseach presented in this essay is intended for practitioners and students to gaine new awareness. We worked through a series of local and global urban interior field work research scenarios, a multi-disciplinary reading list of urbanists, sociologists, designers, practitioners, journalists and other critics’ writings that culminated with Sketch Problem/Charrette exercise focusing on a global urban locale. These designs express an forward thinking positive attitude concerning the pandemic and the global spaces that are to be re-adapted.
Highlights
As the means to suggest and guide design for the so-called “new normal,” it is believed that the approaches presented in this essay will help people to understand how our cities, and the adaptations we must make, are part of a set of ideas put forth in SDRJ’s call for papers signalling a “transition to the new world that might come after the pandemic.” Yet, while readily applicable to this current need, the author believes these suggestions and directions should not be considered fixing what has existed, nor become predetermined and unchangeable
The opinions presented resulting from work in the featured New Interior Urbanism course, agree that a COVID-19 pandemic-inspired design idea can involve permanent or temporary adaptations and insertions, at various scales
The notion of urban interiorism, is always present and needs recognition so that clever innovations are developed for the external environment

As the means to suggest and guide design for the so-called “new normal,” it is believed that the approaches presented here will help people to understand how our cities, and the adaptations we must make, are part of a set of ideas listed in SDRJ’s call for papers, to be a “transition to the new world that might come after the pandemic.”. The design should recede— page being totally useful and invisible These schemes are meant to further urban freedoms seamlessly, and to turn the ideas of social/physical distancing, separation and boundary into healthy, and hopefully interesting living, within a new normalcy. The notion of urban interiorism, is always present and needs recognition so that clever innovations are developed for the external environment
