| Abstract |
Many have been expected, such as the change of the recognition and the amplified efforts toward the conservation of historical architecture, by the execution of ‘the registration cultural properties act’ since July of 2001 in Korea. This act is mainly intended to promote both the reuse and the restoration of the modern architecture and is exemplified as follows. The owner will resister and manage his or her building as a historical asset, and has a right to remodel it under the condition that the structure and the exterior should not be damaged. This is very meaningful since it is a new way to harmonize practical application with historical preservation, which were usually understood as contrary concepts to each other. And this will lead to a more active use and finally to an increased value. I hereby introduce the present situation of modern architecture and the analysis of preceding examples for the reuse and restoration of them in Kyoto city, by the comparison of the original uses and the present applications, especially on commercial purpose. This study will also discuss the driving force for the change of recognition about preservation, as well as the systematic background. |
