Abstract	The period March 2020-March 2021 marks the time reference for this theoretical study as it denotes the initial surge of the Pandemic, where whole societies were destabilized by the ferocity of COVID-19. Within this context, I posit COVID-19 as a transforming event: one that exhausts "worlds." Drawing from Jan Masschelein's works on Arendt and the architecture of public education, the question at hand is how does COVID-19, as a transforming event, affect and change the very essence of education? I begin by comparing two definitions of crisis, Arendt's notion of "krisis," with philosopher Peter Pal Pelbart's thinking around crisis, illness, and 'exhaustion.' I conclude by identifying an 'inconsequential' architectural space, a 'spandrel.' This spatial by-product, revealed during the Pandemic, is located within the very design of the 'perfect' public school, "schole": the Arendtian 'table.' This spandrel aligns with Fernand Deligny's 'primordial communism.' (As Provided).
