Quarantine Revolution

"Quarantine Revolution" is a project seeking a hybrid-flexible design program and revolute the current quarantine facilities. It explores the spatial design opportunities associated with Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton's idea of a purpose-built quarantine facility for welfare issues. Victoria is urging a higher-quality quarantine facility for the city to accept more people to come back and cope with the issues mentioned by infectious disease experts, 'many hotels are unsuitable for quarantining because of poor ventilation and those purpose-built facilities in the bush would be preferable.'

We can argue that people need purpose-built quarantine facilities, hotels do not work. We also need a place that can be pleased and must be an absolute quarantine. The proposal of Quarantine Revolution becomes a future, a different kind of hotel program that people enjoy these 14 days since arriving at the airport from overseas.

The whole project is also seeking the potential of turning into other facilities after the pandemic finishes. The experiments of this concept will be tested within the project to maximum the architectural thinking of 'flexibility'.
