| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to analyze on the publicness inherent in architecture, focused on the private architecture through the case of
the Vessel at New York City’s Hudson Yards development. The definition of the publicness in architecture is identified from many previous
researches, and they set the method of analyzing by the planning elements. From those studies, it needs to expand and develop the method
for the private architecture, like the Vessel, because the method was already customized for the public architecture. So, this study proposes
the new analyzing method of the architectural publicness to have various perspectives to include with the context and the customer’s
experience. The method provides three different approaches, such as urban, architectural, and customer oriented. Each approach has the
characteristics of the publicness in the architecture, and related planning elements that represent in the architecture. Through analysis of the
Vessel, it shows this building represents the architectural publicness by various planning elements, which created by the Architect. Therefore,
the Vessel shows the publicness in architecture even it is private owned, but it represents that every architecture should show the publicness
because the architecture itself always has inherent the publicness in it. |
