| Abstract |
This study derives the characteristics of the private external space planning in multi-family housing through the analysis of the good case
built after 2000 in Europe. First, the cases were categorized into block or block perimeter, linear and point type to examine the relationship
between the type of building in urban context and the location of private external space. By block or block perimeter and linear type, private
external spaces are planned in the inner courtyards or open space between buildings used as common space for residents, inducing
communications between neighbors. And the direction of private external space depends on the arrangement of the building mass in urban
context. In the classification as point type, there are many cases, where private external spaces are arranged in all directions, connected
almost all interior spaces. Second, based on the above results, the planned characteristics of the private external space are derived by dividing
it into three categories: intermediated space between inside and outside, intermediate space between private and public /individual and
collective space and the identity of the intermediate space. (1) In most cases, direction, size of enclosed area and location of private extern
space is designed to fit the surrounding context, so residents can perceive as much of the assets of the surrounding environment as possible,
and it can be used as an extended area of living space. In another cases, it is divided into various sub-areas to experience the spatial
transition from inside to outside or vice versa. 2) The private external space, which is placed in a courtyard or in a collective open space, is
partially enclosed and blocked, allowing interaction with the neighbors without pressure. Along the street, they are designed to allow residents
to experience the vitality of the city and to be formative element of the facade, which could confidently reveal the lifestyle and taste of
residents. 3) By some of point types, which facade is three-demensional layer as a habitable external space, the private external space is very
flexible for use. This intermediate space is composed of diverse spaces for various needs, or it has generous size with positional conditions
connected with all interior spaces to be used multi-functional. |
