| Abstract |
The aim of the study is to define the character of present urban tissues in Bukchon, Seoul through the analysis of the transformation since 1912. The urban tissues of Bukchon are classified as ten types in accordance with the shaped pattern. The urban tissues of Bukchon are composed of the urban tissues which were formed during three period : First pattern have been formed by the process of autonomous growth process based on topographical forms before 1912(such as grid pattern, T-shaped pattern, U-shaped pattern, straight cul-de-sac etc). Second pattern have been formed by tosi-hanok which had been constructed through the subdivision of lots by housing construction company from 1912 to 1960s(such as reticulated pattern, branched pattern, linear pattern etc.). First and Second pattern have been transformed by multiple housing, office building etc. after 1960s. Through comparison and observation of the cadastral map of 1912, 1929, 1967, 1989 and 2001, it can be detected that the small size lots which are placed aside of alleys were transformed to midium size lots by amalgamating two or more into one. The urban tissues of 2001 have been transformed to a complete contrast with one of 1912. The transformation of the urban tissues is related to the change of building type from tosi-hanok to non-tosi-hanok. |
