| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to analyze boundaries of the old Jeonju City and then suggest an architectural proposal for revitalizing the Historical site, JeollaGamYoung. Jeonju has been through its course of the birth, growth, decline and regeneration under different economic, cultural and political conditions. Nowadays Jeonju is pursuing two compatible goals called “conservation” of history, traditions and cultural elements and “development” to improve citizen’s life quality. This study also suggests a future prospect for Jeonju which has been its characteristic history and culture from an angle of development and regeneration. At the same time, this study investigates the old Jeonju City as a centre of present city. Also it finds out how this part has changed its role as old civic center. In addition, this study has a specific goal as a basic material that can be effective for old civic center’s regeneration. Firstly, we analyze the structure of old Jeonju City, and try to figure out boundaries of JeollaGamYoung and its annex using several stacked layers of old maps of Jeonju. We verify exact boundary of past in old Jeonju with a method of overlapping two sheets of maps of past Jeonju and present one. Secondly, restoration of JeollaGamYoung is understood in the same context as regeneration of old civic center, Jeonju. Thirdly, this study suggests a new direction of urban regeneration proposal using local government office in Jeonju and the future changes. Thus, this study proposes a unique method about how to preserve the old civic center of Jeonju, and how to regenerate this urban center in architectural perspectives. We expect to revitalize the old civic center of Jeonju with the combination of traditional culture contents and this architectural proposal on its new main street. |
