N2 - The COVID-19 pandemic has immense impact on our daily life. Precautions like facemasks and social distancing restrict the economy as well as the social life. The aim of the bachelor project was to support architects by integrating health specifications into a software environment and automatically derive specific design support by analyzing architecture. This interdisciplinary project combined architectural and medical expertise to determine the risk of SARS-CoV-2-infection in enclosed spaces by a software approach on basis of parameters provided by the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (Mainz, Germany) and the Association of German Engineers. Subsequently, calculated risks were evaluated by hygiene experts and summarized in a traffic light scheme, which is clearly intelligible and thus allows simple use. Furthermore, the software concept provides instructions for action for architects and specialists in the field of infection control and suggests architectural tools to minimize the risk of infection. The developed concept can be applied to an existing building and contribute to the planning of new buildings.
