Even in the twenty-first century, pandemics lead to a particular kind of spatial organization, such as quarantine. The outbreak of the contamination era re-justifies the medicalization of spaces. Throughout history, there have been several attempts to design spaces for contagious diseases and pandemic situations all over the world—quarantine islands, lazarettos, and healthcare architecture. In the nineteenth century, the first quarantine procedures started in the Ottoman Empire, and Urla-Izmir (Smyrna) island was established as one of the examples of the quarantine system. This study investigates the architecture organization of the quarantine island as an example of a “panoptic” space.

Since the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, the field of exhibition design has become an inevitable impact on both architectural practice and discourse. Any exhibition design offers ‘new’ architectural problem-solving techniques, and this experimental process generates a direction to apply new architectural methods, new materials, and new concepts. This process leads to searching, experiencing, and opening up new possibilities without the constraints of the established rules. Thus, architects can experience what the future holds for spatial design. Architectural design enriches through experimenting with new approaches and new materials. This paper suggests that architectural experimentation can be provided in terms of Serpentine Gallery Pavilions as well as challenging the architect’s role in re-establishing the conventional architectural thought. Thus, the architect is searching for new architectural possibilities and exploring the limitations of interpretation. Pavilion design ...

International expositions began to gain popularity in late 19 th century, particularly in europe, and in time came to influence both architecture and urban planning, affecting their historical development. expositions serve as a means of displaying architecture, particularly since industrialization, and have an influence that can transform their surrounding metropolitan areas in different ways. These influenced areas extend way beyond their own scales, and even if they no longer exist today, and have the potential to transform the urban space in which they are located. This study analyses the case of the Great exhibition of 1851, in london, united Kingdom, which can be considered as the world's first international event, and which played a significant role in the transformation of the Kensington site. Although the exhibition space itself was temporary, it transformed the Kensington site on which it was located at an urban scale. This part of the london has changed following the ...
