When in 2020 the magnitude of the virus outbreak became clear the interior architecture magazine Inner, the interior architecture magazine, immediately launched a call for papers on the topic of living in times of pandemic, arguing that the new condition may have come to stay in our daily lives, – to some degree at least. From the perspective of the Docomomo International Specialist Committee on INterior Design it seems extremely relevant to consider these issues with reference to the Modern Movement.
