| Abstract |
The image and the scenery of a city is made up by the relative space composition method of its elements - streets, plots, and buildings.??At the first stage of the city development, the streets are formed by parceling the land and on this basis, the buildings are constructed.??This basic structure of the city would function as an urban environment.??This study is to analyse the physical urban form and environment by studying the present urban tissues. The regional area of this study will be limited to the city blocks at the center of Seoul.??The streets in this area are in various widths, 1-2m up to 20m, the total length of the streets is 7,645m.??The area consists of 1,740 plots, and 1,284 buildings. This study would focus on understanding the physical characteristics of the city by classifying the streets to 4 groups according to their formation and changing process, grasping the meaning of the space structure by analysing the physical characteristics of the buildings and their usage as well as the three dimensional urban space structure made by the buildings along the streets, and consideration of the role of the urban tissues as the urban infrastructure. |
