The purpose of the article is to identify key solutions for pandemic architecture design. The research approach is based on the analysis of competition proposals and realized projects aimed at creating reserve hospitals during the pandemic. The historical role of epidemics in shaping architecture and cities was carried out. The precedents of mobile reserve hospitals that appeared during the pandemic were analyzed. Through the precedent’s analysis leading approaches to the new architectural environment have been distinguished (modularity and aggregation, inflatability, buoyancy, vertical expansion). The materials of this research can be used in further theoretical studies on post-pandemic architecture development scenarios and as a roadmap for practical solutions or proposals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
