Abstract

Since February 2020, the majority of the Brazilian population has been conditioned to social isolation in their homes, due to the viral pandemic caused by COVID-19, leading to the emergence of conflicts and inadequacies in housing. In this scenario, group x has sought to understand and propose more adequate solutions to this new challenge through methodological research and teaching experiences. This article brings the main results of an immersive online design workshop where innovative collaborative processes involving undergraduate and graduate students were experienced. It describes the process of creating the activity with a design act in itself, analyzes how the proposed exercises were appropriated and proposes directions for structuring this type of activity. The project of the activity, in this case, comprised the creation of favourable conditions for the creative process to take place remotely and immersive, from the exploration of collaborative movements with an emphasis on the externalization of thought, organization of ideas and constant exchange between those involved in the process. It is intended to contribute to an in-depth reflection on the teaching-learning processes in design in the areas of Architecture and Urbanism and Design and to discuss adaptive movements in the way of teaching/learning the project in the face of constant social, cultural and economic changes in society, as well as in new ways of communication and knowledge production resulting from contemporary technological development. It is expected, therefore, to offer a social and academic contribution, as this research rigorously supports future work on the issues addressed here.
