ABSTRACT

Using the context of the new reality brought by the Covid-19 outbreak this paper focus on the influence of the microorganisms for a healthy built environment. The lacking interactions between the many researchers of the different areas whose work has connections to the built environment like civil engineers, architects, microbiologists and epidemiologists is identified as a worrying bottleneck that hinders the multidisciplinary design of a healthy built environment. © 2022 the Author(s).
