| Abstract |
This study reinterprets Baesan-Imsu through the lens of environmental control principles rather than symbolic geomantic discourse. Focusing
on solar heating, radiative cooling, and terrain-induced wind circulation, it explains how landform functions as a microclimatic circulation
structure that regulates environmental conditions within settlements. During the daytime, topographic shielding and slope-induced airflow
mitigate heat stagnation, while front water bodies moderate thermal accumulation through evaporative cooling. At night, reduced wind
exposure and water-mediated thermal buffering alleviate rapid radiative cooling and cold-air drainage. Unlike contemporary urban-climatic
strategies?such as wind corridors or radiative cooling mitigation?that optimize discrete environmental variables, the proposed framework
conceptualizes site selection as an integrated environmental control structure. It coordinates topographic shielding, water-mediated thermal
moderation, diurnal energy cycles, and seasonal wind regimes within a unified spatial logic. The study further translates these processes into
evaluative criteria?including wind-buffering potential, thermal moderation capacity, solar-access balance, and internal air-circulation structure?
thereby redefining Baesan-Imsu as a dynamic locational system. This perspective demonstrates its theoretical coherence and applicability within
contemporary architectural and urban environmental research. |
