| Abstract |
Contemporary society has experienced ceaseless changes by various activities throughout the city, and is repeating growth, development and change with time. These days, development of digital information technology and media is changing the space structure of contemporary society, and thus the concept of space is changing as well. As such the meaning of 'space' that we frequently use is used so diversely and ambiguously, and is being restructured from something fixed to something uncertain, from physical thing to non-physical thing, from something ponderous to light thing, from something eternal to temporary thing, from clear thing to ambiguous thing. In the course of such changes, the city is seeing occurrence of spaces that are in nearly deserted or desolated condition or spaces of which even the existence itself is not recognized due to the evolution of industrial structure and economic pursuit etc. Therefore, this study has the purpose to seek for the understanding and potential of space ambiguity based on the two locational meanings: vestige of existing disappearing functions and change of city. In addition, this study also intends to propose the potential that the characteristics of space ambiguity of spaces which grew degenerated failing to merge into changes of the time may be understood and utilized in a new perspective of place that contemporary cities demand. |
