Abstract:

A new virus “covid-19”, belonging to the coronavirus family has been identified at the end of 2019, in the city of Wuhan in China. This new virus is very contagious, it can be transmitted from a person to another in a very easy and fast way. To control and slow the rapid spread of the virus, cities all around the world went under complete lockdown, and flights were canceled as well. Therefore, social media platforms were the only escape for individuals to stay updated and to participate and also for architects and urban planners studying the city under lockdown to find new and appropriate solutions for better and safer cities and buildings. Social media, especially the video contents were the center of life during this pandemic, from here the focus of the study was on the YouTube platform and its importance in communicating urban architecture and in engaging users during this covid-19 pandemic. This study will be based on the analysis of 30 selected videos from the YouTube platform according to a specific rationale. Those videos will be divided into two categories; the verified channels and the unverified channels where each of them in its turn is divided into 3 subcategories; covid-19 and the city, covid-19 and architecture and virtual reality 360 travel. Each video will be analyzed using the storytelling methodology and its 5 basic elements to present the result of each video. Following this, the study will present a discussion of the results and a comparison with the literature review and the thesis objective.
