POST COVID-19 URBANISM: ESTABLISHING MODULAR DIMENSIONS WHEN DESIGNING NEW URBAN SPACES

ABSTRACT

Because of the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, many countries around the world are facing the negative consequences of this virus on the health of people. Apart from healthcare, the negative consequences also affect the overall economic and social aspects of the life in the cities. Proposed measures to prevent the spread of the virus include restricting the movement of people in the cities, personal protection and social and physical distancing between people. All this leads to a change in the way cities function as urban centers, the use of buildings and public space. Urbanism and architecture, at the time of the corona virus, have the primary task of organizing the functioning of cities as well as the buildings and spaces in them. This is a challenge for future city planning in order to provide a quality and safe way of life for the residents of the city and the emergence of a new "post COVID-19" urbanism. This paper will present possible solutions for the transformation of urban architectural conditions when designing a given space, specifically through a project for a new modular tourist camp. The solution of the project before the onset of the pandemic will be subject to analysis from the aspect of new dimensioning caused by the recommendations for protection of people. The aim of this paper is to offer modular models in the design of tourist camps by re-dimensioning the micro-urban elements of the camp in the existing dimensioned space. The expected results of this paper will provide an opportunity to apply new modular dimensions of open spaces in order to enable the health safety of citizens and enable the proper functioning of urban spaces
