Architecture education is mainly monoscalar, in the sense that it tends to focus on one lev-el of scale. Habitation, instead, is multiscalar. The asynchrony between design and habitation produces a tension between the built environment and its users. The paper connects the effects of this tension with the issues generated by pandemic health emergencies, analysing how lim-ited sociality imposed by prevention measures affects habitation.
