Our cities are not ready for an unexpected disruption such as the covid pandemic. We have seen how it has placed an immense pressure on our healthcare system and forced organisations to dramatically change the way they operate and to co-operate in new ways. However, the pandemic can offer a fresh sense of urgency to resolve these issues and leave us with a system that works better and in a smarter way. How can we design a protocol of design intervention that brings together buildings that will be inoperable during such circumstances? What if a whole network of agents can distribute information and deploy a protocol of emergence that will reprogramme the use of buildings? What if we could have solutions regarding capacity and resources instantly and inform decision makers? Our aim is to focus on elaborate a digital simulator that will inform decision makers and will connect buildings whenever an outbreak is detected.

The Building Network consists of an adapted Field Hospital and different Support Facilities. Based on different configurations variations of Building Networks depending on selected adaptable typologies configuration.
