Abstract


The covid-19 pandemic has forced changes in human behavior in activities, including the interior design studio work system. Online communication media that continues to develop as the pandemic progress affects designers’ daily workflow and their productivity in carrying out responsibilities in the office. It is essential to adjust the communication process between apprentices of design studios’ work systems. This paper discusses the optimal application of WFO and WFH in a complex design process, in which achieving optimal productivity requires a hybrid work system. The direction of the design world’s work system development during the pandemic becomes the focal point of the discussion. The analysis was carried out through the interpretive lens method, ethnography, in which the data were collected through interviewing Interior Design Scholars as outsider participant observers, as well as having semi-structured interviews with informants to obtain in-depth data while keeping the topic on track.
