EFFECTS OF THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC ON URBAN AND ARCHITECTURAL SPACE (original) (raw)

Although the relationship between the world and humanity has been tested at intervals by earthquake, fire, flood, epidemic diseases and similar problems, which are considered as the natural returns of the climate crisis, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, with its impact on all scales of life in the global sense, showed how unprepared the world was. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic process, which has completed 18 months and is still ongoing, necessitated change and transformation in the field of architecture and urban design, as seen in every aspect of social life. In this study, it is of great importance that the projection of the global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the field of architecture and urban design will be read through research at the national and international level, in order to form a base for the regulations that will guide the change to be experienced. With this scientific reading carried out within the scope of the study, the effects of the pandemic process on the space from micro scale to macro scale will be discussed and suggestions will be made for the future.
