What is it about?
This editorial relates COVID 19 and design quality, evidence-based design, and post-occupancy evaluation research. In response to our Call for Papers, five papers have been seleced for publication. The papers present recent research findings, empirical data, and new research methods that cope with social distancing, pandemic implications for design and management strategies, theories on experience and use of the built environment, and suggestions for future research. The presented studies use multiple methods and instruments, in virtual mode or hybrid with in-person. Topics include: Functions and relevance of spatial co-presence; Preventing the spread of COVID-19 through environments design in Thai community hospitals; “Post-Occupancy Evaluation and Codesign in Mental Healthcare buildings; Innovating digital POE platforms during the COVID-19 Pandemic; and Applicability of BIM-IoT-GIS integrated Digital Twins for Post-Occupancy Evaluations.

Why is it important?
A pandemic requires particular and partly new physical design characteristics and new reseach methods to support evidence based desing and Post-Occupancy Evaluations.
Perspectives
This special issue of Frontiers in the Built Environment presents empirical research findings from four continents: Europe, Asia, and North and South America
