| Abstract |
Increase of population and urbanization has brought many high-rise apartment houses so that the solar access right in the neighboring areas of apartment houses is violated in many cases.??There is a clause of the building code about the solar access right in terms of distance criteria in Korea, but this clause does not guarantee a right of environment prescribed in the Korean Constitutional Law. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of apartment design elements on solar access right in the neighboring areas of apartment houses especially with apartment building height, which ranges from level 5 to level 25. With these levels of apartment houses, the neighboring infringed areas are analyzed and identified with Waldram, sunshine contour diagram and insolation contour diagrams. The location is assumed to be a capital city of Seoul and two cases are evaluated; the one is one apartment house case and the other is two apartment house case which is planned in a row. With this study, architectural design and construction company could find and understand the infringed areas in the early planning stage easily and get a better chance to make another good alternative. |
