| Abstract |
High-rise apartment housing type has genetically been conduced to various problems such as excessive high density, closed open view, monotonous building shape, and worse daylighting condition in specific building blocks. Recent public interests in well-being of residential life are now toward open view quality and other environmental housing elements. The aims of this research is intended to analyze the characteristics of open view according to the allocation technique and building block types of apartment buildings which eventually increases the quality of surrounding environments. It extensively examined the openness through computer simulation in order to seek appropriate planning methods for the better openness without dropping the level of density when creating the site plan. The research results found that court type of building blocks indicated low-level openness caused by the blocking of adjacent units, while parallel type showed no differences. Consequently, tower type sited by pointed direction founded to give high-level openness. Generally the study implied that the index of facade-area ratio has certain level of limitation in measuring openness in specific areas, suggHigh-rise apartment housing type has genetically been conduced to various problems such as excessive high density, closed open view, monotonous building shape, and worse daylighting condition in specific building blocks.
