As a Representative large Commercial Facility, Department Stores Occupy a very large Proportion in the Distribution Market. Among them, the Food Hall is a major MD of Department Stores from before the new Generation and plays a role as an Important Promotional Element that Attracts Customers with Changed Product Composition. Looking at the role of the Food Hall, first, in terms of Location, it is mostly built in the Basement, and it plays a role of a Fountain that Attracts Customers by Attracting Smell and Taste and raises Customers to the Upper Floors. Second, in terms of Products, it has a variety of Items and Sizes compared to other MD, and has Characteristics that can give Customers a variety of Experiences of Sight, Smell, Touch, Hearing, and Taste. Third, in terms of Service, as a Dining Space, it plays a role of Continuing Shopping by Resting and Charging. In addition, since Food Halls have lower unit Prices than other MD of Department Stores, they tend to rely on Customer Attraction, so they strive to Store new Menus or famous Restaurants that arouse Customer Interest. In this way, the Food Hall as a Space for Applying and Expressing Consumption Trends the fastest can be said to be a Space that plays the same role as an Introduction to Delivering the overall Design Direction of the Department Store to Customers in Advance through the Color of the Space and various Space Composition from a Design Perspective. Among these, Color is the first means of Conveying a Product to Customers. Including Improving the Taste, which is the most Important Function in the Food Hall, Color can convey the Association of Product Quality and Freshness, and other feelings given by Department Stores in various Colors. However, the Reckless and Indiscriminate use of various Colors can lead to a Decrease in the desire to Purchase. In addition, Color must be Harmonized to Effectively reflect and convey Intentions. Since the Color of the Food Hall can be seen how Originality was sought in the limited Color Environment, which is the premise of Improving the Taste, it is judged that it has more analytical value than other layer MD, which are relatively free in Color Selection. The Purpose of this Study is to find out the Characteristics of Color use in Department Store Space Planning and to Analyze its Harmony.

Virtual reality (VR) is widely utilized in the gaming industry due to its high levels of immersion and interactivity. Recently, there has been a rise in commercial facilities specifically designed for VR gaming experiences in China. This study aims to assess the status of physical and management safety elements in commercial VR gaming spaces and to investigate user perceptions regarding these factors. Field surveys were conducted at four VR experience centers, along with user surveys. In terms of physical safety elements, user evaluations of VR gaming centers were generally positive, although there were notable demands for wall padding, lighting design, and resting areas. Additionally, the required physical safety elements varied based on the layout and nature of the experiences, highlighting the need to create a physically reassuring environment for users. Regarding management safety elements, while information dissemination and risk communication were relatively effective, the role of safety personnel was found to be lacking. Therefore, proper staffing of safety personnel and the implementation of training manuals for emergency situations are essential. It is crucial to inform users about VR device usage and game characteristics prior to their experiences, provide immediate assistance during use, and monitor users' health post-experience, as the role of safety personnel is deemed vital across all types of VR facilities.

As modern architectural design continues to diversify and methods of spatial experience and cognition evolve, boundary studies in architecture have become an important topic. Architecture goes beyond merely dividing physical space, treating boundaries as crucial elements in recognition, cognition, and the interaction of functions. Ma Yansong’s architecture, characterized by bold forms and innovative spatial approaches, prompts a new reevaluation of the boundary concept. His works emphasize the integration of architecture and nature, flexible functional distribution, and dynamic visual experiences. Through these elements, architectural boundaries exhibit unique visual characteristics on physical, cognitive, and functional levels. This study aims to explore the boundary features of Ma Yansong’s architecture through the lens of visual perception theory, analyzing their practical manifestations in spatial design. By reviewing prior research on visual perception theory and spatial boundary theory, the study clarifies the mechanisms of boundary formation and examines the apparent characteristics and functional roles within architectural theory. Drawing on research findings related to visual perception, it systematically investigates how this theory is reflected in architectural features, specifically analyzing Ma Yansong’s boundary characteristics. The results reveal that Ma Yansong’s architectural spaces demonstrate boundary features such as visual permeability, perceptual differentiation, and dynamic viewpoint boundaries. This study concludes that visual perception theory provides a novel framework for exploring architectural boundaries, particularly valuable for understanding natural integration and functional flexibility.

Previous studies on architecture during the Japanese colonial period have generally assumed that it had colonial characteristics. This conceals the various aspects and reveals limitations in illuminating its diversity. In this context, Daejojeon and Heejeongdang are very valuable cases that allow us to examine the process by which Western modern images were accepted into our traditional spaces. This study examined the architectural background of the eclecticism of Korean and Western styles in traditional palaces during the Japanese colonial period, and analyzed the characteristics of Korean-Western blended interiors that appeared in the interior facades of Daejojeon and Huijeongdang in Changdeokgung Palace. Attempts of construct facades by blending different styles within a single room starting from the Japanese colonial period, and the background of this was the influence of Japan, which experienced the eclecticism of Japanese and Western styles.To summarize the Korean-Western blended aspects that appeared in the facades of Daejojeon and Huijeongdang, they were created by adding Western-style finishing materials and decorations to the proportions of the facades of traditional palace. Korean traditional elements were concentrated on the upper part, and Western elements were concentrated on the lower part, and the integration between the two styles was combined through lintels and dado. Decorations and finishing materials were used as elements expressing the hierarchy of room, and they have decorative characteristics that appear in the French style of the 17th and 18th centuries. The interior facade shown in Daejojeon and Huijeongdang were introduced in the special political and administrative situation of colonial rule, so it is limited to viewing them as a true expression of modernity. However, they provide many implications for understanding the domestic perception and sensibility of Western interior decoration at the time, and the status of the domestic interior design industry.

In recent years, dining spaces have evolved into multifunctional environments offering immersive experiences due to the rising demand for premium experiences, lifestyle changes, and technological advancements. With the integration of VR, projection mapping, and digital interaction technologies, dining experiences have transformed beyond mere food consumption into sensory engagement and emotional immersion. In this context, understanding the relationship between immersive experience methods and the spatial implementation elements supporting them has become increasingly important. This study analyzes the interaction between immersive experience methods and spatial eleme nts through case studies of immersive dining spaces such as Le Petit Chef, Tree by Naked, Haenyeo's Kitchen, and Carnilab. The findings reveal how physical, spatial, narrative, and cognitive/emotional immersion were creatively applied in line with the thematic design of each space. Moreover, key technological elements, sensory stimuli, human services, interactive components, and physical configurations were shown to significantly enhance customer engagement. Ultimately, the study highlights that when these elements are organically integrated, they create an environment where customers can be fully immersed, offering a differentiated dining experience. Based on this analysis, the study proposes creative and practical design guidelines for implementing immersive experiences in dining spaces, offering strategic direction for enhancing customer engagement.

In modern society, companion animals are regarded as family members rather than merely pets. During the pandemic, increased interaction time with companion animals has led to greater interest in their living environment. Despite the growth of facilities and services for companion animals, there is still a lack of clear standards.This study analyzes the spatial elements and characteristics of domestic pet-friendly facilities, particularly accommodations. The essential components of pet-friendly accommodations are categorized into hygiene, safety, and convenience, related to the behavioral needs of companion animals. This study selected six domestic pet-friendly accommodations to derive spatial components. Through case analysis, space types and elements were classified into hygiene, safety, and convenience. These elements include (1) hygiene for bathing and feeding, (2) hygiene for sleep and rest, and (3) safety for activities like exploration and play. Additionally, spatial components supporting emotional stability and physical activity were analyzed. The spatial elements of pet-friendly accommodations were categorized into hygiene (feeding, excretion, bathing), safety (independent and interaction spaces), and convenience (emotional comfort and functional needs). These elements play a key role in providing a comfortable environment for both animals and their owners. The analysis revealed varying fulfillment levels for hygiene, safety, and convenience in pet-friendly accommodations. Most facilities provided hygiene elements like dedicated utensils, shampoo, and pads, but lacked facilities for infection prevention and antimicrobial functionality. While indoor safety was well addressed, outdoor facilities and emergency medical facilities need improvement. Experiential programs for emotional interaction were limited, and facilities lacked adequate arrangements for companion cats, which are prone to stress in unfamiliar environments. Despite these limitations, the study organized essential components of pet-friendly accommodations, offering a foundation for future petterior research. Future research aims to enhance pet-friendly environments by considering furniture, materials, lighting, equipment systems, and indoor/outdoor circulation.
