How Covid-19 Changed Restaurant Design – Retail Architect Explains | WIRED

Retail architect Sterling Plenert designs restaurants, and his job got quite a bit more challenging when tasked with designing eateries with COVID restrictions. Sterling explains what the restrictions are and how he designs restaurants within those guidelines. He also looks towards the future of NYC dining and envisions a version of New York with permanent outdoor eating.

We’d also like to acknowledge the other members of the CallisonRTKL team who envisioned how outdoor dining will change New York: Tyler Blazer, Jim Browning, Laura Camejo, Sahil Dagli, Lee Hagen, Erin Langan, Nikita Malviya, Renée Schoonbeek, and Gloria Serra Coch

    Check main square krakow restaurants in winter. Their outside spaces have transparent plastic walls and some flame heating standing lamps. So it’s worm, visible and easy

    I honestly had no idea that New York has no alleyways. I’ve never been outside of Europe, never seen anything BUT alleyways everywhere. My only experience with American cities before YouTube was kid’s cartoons.

    Sidewalk Cafe so people can dine and dash

  5. anastyb on September 22, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    I think covid or not this guy has the right idea to make dining more enjoyable.

  6. BIANNCA'S RETARD STRENGTH on September 22, 2021 at 11:47 pm

  7. Kevin Frost on September 22, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    Interesting to see, thanks for posting!

  8. Pluff Mud on September 22, 2021 at 11:48 pm

    No one eats on the Champs Élysée! That’s where car sales are.
    Try side streets nearby
    Or around the opera
    Rue St. Germaine, Avé Victor Hugo,etc

  9. Poll2 Dock on September 22, 2021 at 11:50 pm

    Who cares what is designed ??
    It won’t improve the dying shithole it’s in!

  10. kien bach on September 22, 2021 at 11:50 pm

    In vietnam , this type of design has lived with us for 1000 years

  11. Poll2 Dock on September 22, 2021 at 11:51 pm

    In Europe outdoor dining closes in winter. So still no outdoor dining 6 mos a year.

  12. Sagacious Eagle on September 22, 2021 at 11:51 pm

    Haven’t seen underground restaurants/cafe yet? When the weather is cold it makes sense.

  13. Nguyen Quan on September 22, 2021 at 11:52 pm

    Hey folks, what’s the name of the table he draws on? Thanks

  14. kerry bontos on September 22, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    Does anybody realize how stupid this is. Cant eat inside but make these business put up tents with 4 closed in walls to eat outside when the ventalition system inside with proper filters would be even better then inside aclosed in tent

  15. crazedmonk on September 22, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    $128 price tag for a mixed berry granola bar? what kind of nonsense.

  16. franco luis sotomayor on September 22, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    Muy buen segmento

    Love the video!

  19. Koala Man on September 22, 2021 at 11:59 pm

    Title should be "how fear of a virus ruined America’s economy and caused hundreds of thousands of small businesses that didnt have the money to conform to shut down" nice shilling wired

  20. Red Siberian on September 23, 2021 at 12:00 am

    You gotta feel for cities like Los Angeles who’s politicians have shut down all lower and middle class businesses and haven’t even allowed outdoor dining while the rich stay open and get richer meanwhile their cases are off the charts.

  21. Meowmeow on September 23, 2021 at 12:03 am

    You mean: "How lockdown measures changed the restaurant design"

  22. 海外のSさん on September 23, 2021 at 12:04 am

    I’m not a dine out person and just curious if people could just not dine out? I mean, can someone please help me understand if it’s really necessary to dine out, at all?

  23. themittymak on September 23, 2021 at 12:05 am

    i heard business owners not only have to pay rent for the building but now rent for the space outside. it’s a money grab.

  24. Jeff Harmed on September 23, 2021 at 12:06 am

    Wow brilliant presentation and which will impact my own personal 3D study of restaurants such as trattorias, osterias, pizzerias, snack bars, sandwich bars, canteens, self-service etc.

  25. Twink on September 23, 2021 at 12:06 am

    I hope sidewalk cafes stay after this

  26. Erica Fahrlender on September 23, 2021 at 12:10 am

    So neat

  27. Master of Puppets on September 23, 2021 at 12:10 am

    So if you don’t have a phone you’re screwed

  28. J Shepin on September 23, 2021 at 12:11 am

    someone heard Louis Rossman’s cries

  29. Dark Warrior on September 23, 2021 at 12:11 am

    Just wait until everyone drives a Tesla and deadly carbon monoxide gas exhaust is no longer a factor.

  30. Flux City on September 23, 2021 at 12:13 am

    Even though this is focused on New York, we in Detroit are thinking through these exact same challenges. Great video.

  31. Mark Froman on September 23, 2021 at 12:15 am

    Change nothing. Everything back to the way it was.

  32. zootherius on September 23, 2021 at 12:17 am

    F this sellout "architect" exterior designer.

  33. Astro Naut on September 23, 2021 at 12:18 am

    The biggest joke of New York. He says at some point it’s no different then a indoor dining. Just open the restaurants then! A smaller restaurant in front of a closed restaurant and nobody think this is illogical?

  34. SERGHEI SAHARNEAN on September 23, 2021 at 12:21 am
  35. SmittyNo1 on September 23, 2021 at 12:23 am

    Plenert the planner. Fitting name.

  36. Kenta Neary on September 23, 2021 at 12:23 am

    Deblasio and Cuomo are clowns, totally incompetent

  37. Michael Dautrich on September 23, 2021 at 12:26 am

    Regarding Covid and restaurants,–
    I,  "the virus",   agree not to bother anyone in a restaurant that is sitting at a table without a mask on their face.
    Signed— Vic Virus

  38. Sheree Rockdaschel on September 23, 2021 at 12:26 am

    And that is a terrible shame on America. People get the flu and they die also so what are we gonna hide the rest of our lives because there’s a virus out there. We weren’t meant to live in fear. People just wash your hands. That’s how we stop the spread. use the restroom you wash your hands. Wash your hands throughout the day. I have seen so many people go use the restroom and not wash their hands that’s just disgusting. And these restaurants deserve to be open they have families they have bills they have to pay. let these people open their businesses.

  39. John on September 23, 2021 at 12:28 am

    Covid is fake ,and yes I’ll tell that to the people who lost loved ones to the flu.and if you have a problem with my opinion I can give you a big hug and kiss to make you feel better 😙

  40. Spencer Harder on September 23, 2021 at 12:28 am

    Solution: “Contained Environment”
    Problem: Covid loves contained environments.
    See the problem here???

  41. Sue Sue on September 23, 2021 at 12:29 am

    Hello New-Yorkers! Are restaurants open these days? Thanks

  42. Devra Baxter on September 23, 2021 at 12:33 am

    I love that idea of a more ‘green’ NYC. The concepts pieces were absolutely beautiful!

  43. amy mrowca on September 23, 2021 at 12:33 am

    It’s good that there is someone that actually understands the needs and is trying to map out a new approach to people dining out.

  44. Gabe Logan on September 23, 2021 at 12:34 am

    Or just end cv bs?

  45. ZELLOUS on September 23, 2021 at 12:34 am

    Just say screw it’s let’s all get covid and we’ll be fine

  46. OliveKatz on September 23, 2021 at 12:34 am

    This can’t be permanent. Restaurants will recover. NYC needs our sidewalks and streets back. Residents need a say. My neighborhood is now loud and like a street fair

  47. Ideoform Sun on September 23, 2021 at 12:34 am

    More green! I think having linear parks and more trees and plants will be a great improvement! Thin out the dangerous, overcrowded, unhealthy skyscrapers. Limit the height. Let sunlight filter to the street level. Take back the streets for the people. New York needs to reclaim its public spaces. I like having some public benches, public drinking water fountains, and public restrooms. Places to just comfortably sit and people watch.

    Trees provide shade, temperature modification, and beauty. Plants are good for people. The best example of this is that the highest property values and rents are for places that have a view of the park.

  48. Gami Gam on September 23, 2021 at 12:35 am

    Helped me helped my family we are poor and I want to change our life, funded my transport project in my country please

  49. Faces of Hollywood on September 23, 2021 at 12:37 am

    Congrats to the Director and Producers of this video. Very well produced 👏👏

  50. Henry Rinehart on September 23, 2021 at 12:39 am

    Get real American cities. Cars are the new cigarettes. Everyone wants one. Everyone looks good using one. They are literally killing us, our property values, and our businesses.
    Cars, you can live without them if you live in a city. Sell your car. Buy a top line e-bike with a trailer. Take a bus or subway. Pocket thousands of dollars. Breathe clean air. Meet your neighbors. Fall in love.
