| Abstract |
The Purpose of this survey is to analysis the spatial composition of the museum selected by competition over 20,000㎡ in Korea, since 1980 in term of the theory of space syntax and seek the correlation between the factor of spatial structure in the theory of space syntax and the concept of wayfinding. In the end of this survey, I found something followed. On the hand of the theory of space syntax, the concept of Perceptual Access can be more concrete in the more ration way. We can expect some visual axialities which are integrated and segregated in the system of space on the traffic system in the space as a whole in the sight of Visual Axiality Map Analysis. The National Museum of Contemporary Art (NMCA)has more nodes and traffic level to move one point to another relatively to The National War Memorial(NWM) and is not effective to perform wayfinding task in the paper interview. The Connection of each space is evaluated by the value of RRA or RA in Convex Space Map. NWM has rotunda space as same as the ramp core of NMCA which is used for divide traffics as the major space in the center. Visitors make their way in the museum by choice of path meant low RRA. Some of path meant low RRA plays a role as the subgoal for the landmark. More over these spaces have low RRA not only by Convex Space Map but also by Visual Axiality Map. There is the fatal difference between NMCA and NWM. It is the pattern of visitors movement in NWM is not coincident with the logic of traffic system. Almost visitors in the museum made it use to the sign system rather than the logic of traffic system. There are too many signs in NWM in vain. And more it worse, it disturb visitors to take spontaneous choice of their way. So RRA can be considered as the guideline of position of signs |
