This submission from Architecture Discipline launches an initiative to look into the post-pandemic emergent space and a discursive engagement in the future proxemics through a series of prototypical creations that shall ease our re-habitation into the new normal. In its technical assemblage, the sChoker in this first version makes use of simple thermal sensors (PIS sensors) to detect close animate presence and inform the host so that he can ‘distance’ appropriately, while still maintaining privacy and anonymity.
