3月29日，英国政府建议我们，我们可能会锁定到6月，这可能是社会前六个月（如我们在Covid-19之前知道）恢复了我们所拥有的正常情况。
这些不确定性的时间正在测试我们所居住的世界和我们所知道的世界。虽然从这大流行中学习了太早，但是将导致的非常悲惨的结果，我不禁试试并在积极上思考。
Rethinking how we live, work and interact
From its conception I have sat on the
Structural Futures Committeewhere we have discussed what the future might hold for engineering, for society and for us. I have never before been able to convince those around me that there is no reason we need to continue in the same trajectory.
许多人已经讨论了我们如何更好地塑造我们的城市，改善基础设施，减少污染，非常简单地说明我们如何改善我们已经进入的情况。也许我们永远无法设想社会的课程可以如此大大转变，以便我们可以重新思考我们如何生活，工作和互动。
好吧，它现在正在发生。我们正在快速调整和重新思考。随着媒体推测我们恢复正常可能需要多长时间，我忍不住询问问题：我们应该吗？
Meeting emission targets
Since we began to socially distance, reduce the need to leave our homes and find new ways to interact with our families and friends we have seen impacts for the better on our planet.
Scientists have identified a significant drop in green house gas emissions, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have demonstrated
大气中的二氧化氮巨大滴.
在欧洲和中国，这一跌幅估计减少了20％，但这只是在这个阶段的指示性估计，它是我们需要考虑的。铭记
英国政府的目标是减少所有六个京都温室气体达到2050年的100％。
I have always envisaged that in order to achieve these targets we need to not just simply better design the world in which we live, but that we need to go back to the drawing board.
We need to rethink how society operates. We need a reduction in travel. We need to revert to a simpler, more sustainable way of living, and at the heart of this replan is our home.
For some of you trying to work from home at the moment with children keeping you company I know this might seem a frightening thought. I have been interrupted several times as I write this simple thought piece, so what I am
不是建议是我们教育系统的变化。
Commercial premises and housing stock
But are cities a requirement in this plan? Do we need to congregate for work and use valuable building space for 8 hours a day that remain vacant for the other 16 hours?
Should we spend a fortune moving people from one place to another, resulting in high emissions of green house gases, or should we actually be investing in high speed internet and robust spaces for storing data?
Shared spaces could be available in the days for meetings and in the evenings for social gathering, as it is important for our mental health to have some human interaction.
Do we really need smaller more efficiently designed homes and larger open plan office spaces, a common trend at the moment? Or should we be repurposing commercial premises and our existing building stock to house our ever expanding population?
Would even this be enough?
这种转变的结果将是一个完整的变化，不仅是我们工作的方式和社会的行为，还在我们正在努力的项目类型中。我们可以让这种转变为更大的好处吗？
However I leave this here with one question, would it even be enough?
For now we have a 20% reduction. How the heck do we achieve 100%? If you need to distract your children at this time we would love to see their ideas for how a new home should be planned, what it should contain and how it might look.
