| Abstract |
Despite the importance of multifamily housing, which can be found easily in all parts of residential area with imaginable guise, as a major supply of affordable housing, the public prohibited people from living two more families in single detached house and regarded it as illegal until 1980s. But illegal multifamily housing was diffused throughout Seoul as open secret and too late the public legitimated it rather than banning conversions from single detached housing to multifamily housing. From the start of 1990s, most of multifamily housing were pioneered not by leading architects but by the local builders, so the Building Code was at the top of the list which affects multifamily housing. This study focuses on the relation between the characteristics of multifamily housing and the building code in residential area. The legitimation of multifamily housing enabled multifamily housing to place on the plot for single detached house and changed the landscape of residential area. The physical form of multifamily housing was affected not only by the change of regulations but also by the conditions of urban tissue like plot, street, adjacent building, and typography. The enforcement of regulations like parking lot affected the layout and form of housing directly but the alleviation like height and volume manifested under the influence of urban tissue. The change of regulation and urban tissue are manifested in the form of multifamily housing. |
