| Abstract |
This study analyzed the developmental aspects of the discourse of Korean national housing in the 1950s and 1970s with a synchronic
perspective, and grasped the characteristics and meaning of the concept of national housing according to the diachronic flow. Through this, it
expanded the scope of research on national housing in Korea and derived the universal meaning of housing occupied by national housing in the
historical context of Korea. The discourse and concept of national housing in the 1950s was recognized as public housing in the relative
concept of private housing due to the limited supply of national housing, and the government sought to indirectly utilize the model of future
national housing through the National Housing Home Design Contest. The nationwide spread of national housing in the 1960s formed the basis
for the distorted residential perception of standardization of life. In the 1970s, the size and type of housing were dualized according to the
enactment of the Housing Construction Promotion Act and the growth of the middle class, and it was operated as a new norm for housing fund
loans due to housing financing. The national housing in the 1950s and 1970s began as a means of mass production and solved housing
problems of the general nation in the early days, but changed to the concept representing the standardization of life as the size of national
housing by housing type was institutionalized. In addition, the concept of national housing and architectural space/form began to be separated
from the same initial equivalent, and this change resulted in widening the gap between the ideal concept of national housing and the real world. |
