COVID-19 pandemic, the built environment has faced significant transformations and adaptations to address emerging challenges and public health concerns. This review explores the significant implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on architecture and urban design. Key developments include the rise of home office design to accommodate remote work, increased reliance on digital infrastructure for essential services, the revitalization of public and green spaces, and design adaptations for social distancing. Building designs now prioritize wider corridors and open-air spaces to enable safe circulation, improved ventilation systems to reduce infection risk, and antimicrobial materials for enhanced cleanliness. Moreover, digital technologies, such as smart building systems and AI-driven safety measures, play a central role in post-pandemic designs. These transformations collectively aim to create healthier, adaptable, and resilient built environments ready to face future challenges.

COVID-19 Pandemisinin Mimari Mekân İhtiyaçları Üzerindeki Etkisi

Öz

COVID-19 pandemisi, inşaat ve şehir tasarımı üzerinde önemli değişikliklere ve uyarlamalara neden olmuştur. Bu derleme, COVID-19 pandemisinin mimarlık ve kentsel tasarım üzerindeki önemli etkilerini incelemektedir. Temel gelişmeler, uzaktan çalışmayı desteklemek için ev ofisi tasarımının yükselmesi, temel hizmetler için dijital altyapının artan kullanımı, kamu ve yeşil alanların canlandırılması ve sosyal mesafe için tasarım adaptasyonlarını içermektedir. Bina tasarımları artık güvenli dolaşımı sağlamak için daha geniş koridorlar ve açık hava alanlarını önceliklendirmekte, enfeksiyon riskini azaltmak için iyileştirilmiş havalandırma sistemlerini benimsemekte ve daha fazla temizlik sağlamak için antimikrobiyal malzemelere odaklanmaktadır. Ayrıca, akıllı bina sistemleri ve yapay zeka tabanlı güvenlik önlemleri gibi dijital teknolojiler, pandemi sonrası tasarımlarda merkezi bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu dönüşümler, gelecekteki zorluklara hazır daha sağlıklı, uyumlu ve dayanıklı inşaat ortamları oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır.
