Abstract

Through the periodical transitions of scales, styles, and designers, and the analysis of the composition of the site clans at the Paris Expositions in the years of 1885, 1867,1878, 1889, 1900, 1925, and 1937, the fallowings were made clear: 1) the methodology to apply the axes based on Invalide and Ecole Militaire to the site plannings had been succeeded, whereas the transitions were seen in the styles and scales, 2) The site plannings were developed on these two axes and along the Seine River.
