This pandemic, like any disruptive global crisis, invites many questions about the future. It is a time to embrace uncertainty and focus on the immediate. Everything is in flux, changing radically from moment to moment\u2014yet, being sequestered for endless weeks, it can feel like time is at a standstill. No project typology better reflects the times than the emergency field hospitals that have sprung up\u2014some in 14 days or less\u2014to help health systems navigate the surge of COVID-19 patients. Although the facilities are group efforts, design-industry members have been instrumental in their realization. The following convention-center conversions showcase design problem-solving under unfathomable pressure.
