| Abstract |
Although public architecture planning has been increasingly institutionalized, limited empirical evidence exists on whether preliminary planning
procedures effectively stabilize key conditions during the architectural design stage. This study examines the impact of the Business Plan
Pre-review System on the architectural design process and argues that design-stage instability in public architecture is closely related to the
interaction between institutional procedures and organizational capacity. The research was conducted through a comparative analysis of legal
frameworks, an examination of reports from the National Public Building Center, and a survey of public building designers. The analysis
shows that the pre-review process is frequently implemented after critical conditions such as budget and site have already been determined,
thereby limiting its effectiveness as an early planning mechanism. While the system contributes to procedural tasks such as supplementing
design competition guidelines, its influence on core planning functions?particularly budget estimation and program formulation?remains limited.
Budget increases exceeding 20% were observed in 32.1% of projects, while program adjustments occurred in 30.6%, with higher frequencies
reported in organizations with relatively limited planning capacity, such as basic local governments. Based on these findings, this study
identifies a Structural Mismatch between institutional design and organizational capacity as the key mechanism producing design-stage
instability and proposes strengthening planning capacity and introducing differentiated procedural tracks to improve the effectiveness of the
public architecture planning system. |
