Elementary School Amos, however, in the small Bohemian town of Psáry, is unlike any of them. Seven years ago, a national architecture competition called for proposals for Amos. SOA Architekti, a small studio based in Prague that had been focused on interior-design and residential projects, beat out the 62 other firms that entered.

As a BAME designer, I am well aware of the lack of diversity and the dearth of representation within interior design. The issue is not new and has been going on in our industry for years.

Masked waiters, tables spaced six feet apart, plexiglass barriers, and even stuffed animals occupying seats—these are some of the changes you might encounter the next time you dine out. As many U.S. states and countries around the world come out of lockdown, a whole new set of restrictions meant to slow the spread of COVID-19 are coming into play. Though there is still a lot we don’t know about the coronavirus, its rapid person-to-person spread is a threat to the way restaurants operate.
