| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to compare between professionalism in medical field(doctor) and architectural design field(architect) in Korea
through synchronic and diachronic analysis, with basic requirement of expertise and systemicity, attitude requirement of the publicness, and
structural requirement of exclusiveness and autonomy. The medical professionalism adapted by Korean government in the early period of
modernization evolved from Western's professional expertise is highly divided as economy grew and society changed. In comparison,
architecture was divided into architecture, urbanism, landscape, and interior architecture. Additionally, architectural field was subdivided with
architectural design, engineering, construction, structure, and facilities, but architectural design focused on generalized education and practice
system. From the systematical point of view, architectural design field has changed profoundly from architectural engineering as 5 year
undergraduate educational system was introduced with Korean architectural accreditation. The publicness is approved through health service in
medical field and safety and the public domain in architectural design field, but in reality the professionals are viewed as economic interest
groups. Hence, the professionalism in both fields is required to reinforce ideology and ethics, and to practice concrete measures for
publicness. Compared with the unified organization of medical field, architectural design professionalism faces various difficulties in unifying
the organization, such as internal competition caused by tightened architect’s requirements, along with external problems from architectural
design permission demands of construction companies. In medical and architectural design professionalism, with the appearance of
consumerism and stricter governmental regulations, the autonomy is weakened. From the result of comparative analysis, Korean medical field
became extremely subdivided and specialized in each department, therefore integration of each disease and establishment of centers are
proposed as solutions. By contrast, the reinforcement of expertise in architectural design professionalism might be necessary to strengthen
autonomy caused by governmental restriction, and to form architectural culture and secure public architecture. |
