| Abstract |
This study examines structural inefficiencies in Korea’s system for realizing design intent in public architecture. Focusing on the operational
framework of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the research identifies key regulatory and administrative gaps and proposes standardized
criteria for defining the scope of work and establishing an appropriate compensation model. Through a comparison of fixed-percentage and
cost-plus-fee methods, the study shows that a transparent compensation system based on actual work input strengthens accountability and
improves quality by ensuring active architectural involvement during the construction phase. The findings offer a practical framework for
enhancing the quality of public architecture and for expanding institutional improvements across the country and into the private sector.
Ultimately, the research aims to strengthen the professional role of architects by presenting an equitable, actionable policy model for
achieving design intent. |
