| Abstract |
This study proposes to develop a conceptual model for raising architecture based public design experts. Taking an integrated approach to educating architects and public designers, it tries to examine existing architectural education programs if they reflect various aspects of the term 'publicity' in which public design has been continuously mentioned. The model as developed will be expected to serve as an important indicator for stimulating education efforts to raise effectively public designers within an architectural education system. Relevant issues related to expertise development as well as integrated education are discussed to provide theoretical backgrounds for composing the model. Additionally, the study develops an analytical framework that includes a total of 4 critical components. They are (1)definition of the term 'publicity' in public design domains, (2)evaluation of KAAB's student performance criteria(SPC) as validated in terms of 'publicity,' (3)change in status of architecture within the domains as suggested by government bodies, (4)architectural typology in the public design context as needed for architectural education. All these components are likely to be critical in creating the model. A literature review was conducted on components used in the model development process. In addition, literature related to both expertise development and integrated education was critically reviewed. Results are as follows. First, the term 'publicity' is defined in 5 types(safety, convenience, universalism, context, symbolism, self-directed or independence) in an integrated and practical viewpoint. Although KAAB's SPC as evaluated by 5 types(deletion, addition, integration, content change, amendment) is likely to meet cardinal directions of Framework Act on Building and Master Plan for Architectural Policy, second, development and application of educational strategy as well as practice guidelines remain uncompleted. Third, status of architecture as a public design domain has been tremendously improved as buildings and open space as their spatial background have been most emphasized in creating a good public image. Fourth, common sense of a good public image for the place has been made among professionals and scholars that a total of 6 public design domains(space, buildings, facilities, visual media, outdoor flyers, night sight) are all related and needed in an integrated manner. |
