| Abstract |
Mixed-use single apartment buildings emerged from the late 1960s and proliferated outwards from the city center of Seoul during the 1970s.
This housing type was mainly implemented to provide housing, however, commercial facilities were inevitably incorporated due to insufficient
urban infrastructure set on the outskirts. This study aims to examine spatial planning and user behavior of mixed-use single apartment
buildings. Mostly located along the main street, mixed-use single apartment buildings interact with pedestrians by planning shopping quarters
on the street level and placing housing units and common areas above. In addition, these urban architectural housing types exemplifies
various architectural planning features such as implementing an atrium or courtyards, single or double loaded corridors, specific common areas
and so on. Residential and common areas tend to be more open depending on the degree of vitality and dominant proportion of commercial
facilities combined in mixed-use apartment buildings. Overall, this housing type has provided an opportunity to interact and connect with its
surrounding urban fabric over time. However, due to obsolescence and transformation of urban contexts, these particular housing types are on
the brink of extinction. It is expected that appropriate documentation and meticulous analysis could provide further worthwhile implications to
future mixed-use urban housing typologies. |
