| Abstract |
The analysis of outdoor and indoor spatial composition with natural elements is required for the creation of healing environment in healthcare
facility to provide basic data for the planning of hospital architecture. Literature review of healing environment and investigation on
characteristics of spatial composition in architectural works and healthcare facilities have been conducted. The spatial composition of outdoor
space for refuge and prospect from indoor space of Seoul National University Hospital have been analyzed. The result of this research can
be summarized as followed. First of all, the main natural elements for healing environment are consisted with refuge in outdoor space and
prospect from indoor space. The second one is that natural elements in Seoul National University Hospital are located in central, posterior,
and lateral area of main hospital and connectivity, integration, and ERAM(3) which the characteristics of outdoor spatial composition with
space syntax are focused on the museum of medicine and landscape area in the center of hospital. The third one is that the outdoor refuge
and prospect from indoor space in Seoul National University Hospital can be replaced with cultural heritage like the site of Kyungmogungji
and Changgyeonggung palace in and next to the hospital. In addition to the outdoor and indoor spatial composition, it is necessary to
analyze the relationship between elements to develop the healing environment of hospital architecture. |
