A South Korean professor has said changes will be made to a proposal for a post-coronavirus office layout due to its resemblance to a swastika.
The academic, who wished to remain anonymous, told the JC that a "tweak" would be made to the layout and apologised, saying that: “I am not in your culture, so I did not realise that it could bring such a concern.”
The professor offered thoughts to The Korea Herald about how the coronavirus pandemic would reverberate through the architecture and design worlds.
The South Korean had provided a photo of an innovative desk layout that would minimise the risk of disease transmission in offices.
