Abstract


The model of pavilion lazaretto was built above the scientific basis established during the hospital reform process held in France on the lasts decades of Eighteenth Century. The morphological solutions adopted for the new quarantine taxonomy has not been given by the example borrowed by the new typology of hospital as resulted in this discussion, but by existing quarantine and detention facilities in general. In this paper we will analyse all factors that have influenced in the configuration of this model of lazarettos.
