This study explores the importance of the sense of order in the field of architecture, especially in the application within traditional Chinese courtyard houses, known as Siheyuan. By analyzing the spatial structure and design principles of Siheyuan, the research highlights the central role of the sense of order in creating spaces that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and culturally significant. Based on the theories of E.H.Gombrich and Francis D.K. Ching, the study reveals how the orderly arrangement of architectural elements, rational organization of space, and harmonious interaction with the environment can create living spaces that are both practical and beautiful. The analysis was conducted through on-site inspection and reference to documentary materials. The findings demonstrate that through principles such as axial symmetry, organic connection of structure and layout, reasonable proportions, hierarchical division of space, and functional layout, the design of Siheyuan not only showcases the wisdom of traditional architecture but also provides valuable insights for modern architectural design. This research encourages the integration of traditional design principles with modern technology to promote more harmonious and sustainable architectural practices, with the expectation that future developments will produce more innovative and practical design solutions to meet the demands of contemporary society.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government implemented an urban plan for citizen’s cultural happiness by expanding aging facilities and idle spaces into cultural facilities. In particular, contextual design appears to be an important factor as a method of urban regeneration based on local cultural characteristics, but research to connect buildings and regions in context is insufficient. Therefore, this paper intends to study spaces used to promote historical, social and cultural values in areas where urban regeneration has taken place. Through theoretical consideration of contextual design in urban revitalization, four characteristics of historicity, connectivity, publicity, and functionality were derived as analysis frameworks based on the characteristics presented in previous studies. As the subject of the study, five cultural spaces were selected among the regeneration cases of ‘Vision 2030, Cultural Citizens City Seoul’ and conducted a field survey. As a result of the analysis, it showed the historicity by preserving buildings with historical significance or creating cultural facilities with historical stories, and the connectivity was also well demonstrated due to physical harmony such as the surrounding environment within the region. However, the publicity and functionality were the weakest due to the lack of space and economic utilization for cultural exchange programs. To solve these problems, it is necessary to provide a space for cultural exchange by organizing various programs such as exhibitions, music performances and reading gatherings, and to create a space for economic utilization within the regenerated facilities. This study attempted to present the direction of regeneration through contextual connection, and it is expected that research on various types of regeneration spaces will be continued by expanding the scope of contextual design research on urban regeneration cultural spaces.

This research evaluates consumer preferences regarding interior design elements in the peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation sector, focused on the Korean, Chinese, and Japanese markets. By exploring the ‘Servicescape’ theory, this investigation highlights the critical influence of color, lighting, space, and layout on interior design. This study uses preprocessing and word association analysis of Airbnb reviews collected from 17 cities worldwide to identify the varied preferences for servicescape elements across international consumer segments. The analysis unveils a universal desire for adjustable lighting, room size, and thoughtful layout across diverse demographics. Notably, Japanese consumers demonstrate a distinct consideration for the elderly in lighting and layout, alongside a concern for safety in layout.In contrast, Chinese consumers prefer bold color palettes and sense of spatial privacy. Korean consumers prefer minimal color schemes with low saturation and enhanced space connectivity. Based on these findings, the research proposes tailored design recommendations for each targeted country/region, carefully considering the distinct traits and demands of the local consumer base. These recommendations are poised to enhance the satisfaction levels within accommodation environments and the importance of cultural adeptness in the architectural planning of P2P accommodation.

Recently, Korea’s decaying urban spaces are being regenerated as spaces for the creation and production of culture and arts with amenities in mind. The purpose of this study is to analyze cultural and artistic spaces utilizing idle spaces among urban regeneration spaces in Seoul from an amenity perspective and suggest ways to revitalize the sustainability and design of cultural and artistic spaces. By constructing an analytical framework to analyze urban regeneration culture and arts spaces from an amenity perspective, a field survey was conducted on seven spaces that were reopened as urban regeneration spaces of the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture. The research results are as follows. First, the urban regeneration culture and arts space consists of exhibition, creation, education, relaxation, sales, and community spaces.Second, from an amenity perspective, urban regeneration cultural and artistic spaces can be divided into environmental, aesthetic, convenience, and cultural characteristic Environmentality provides comfort and psychological stability by creating a nature-friendly environment, and minimizes environmental impact by preserving existing spaces. Aesthetics provide a pleasant environment where natural scenery and public sculpture can be enjoyed in harmony. Convenience is easy and convenient for users to access through public transportation diversity and quick information acquisition. Third, among the characteristics of urban regeneration culture and arts spaces from an amenity perspective, aesthetics was most evident and environmentality was the least satisfactory. In order to improve amenities, an environment that provides not only comfort but also a variety of uses to citizens and artists is needed by creating a community and relaxation space that emphasizes eco-friendly landscaping. In the future, research on sustainable design that takes many citizens and artists into consideration is needed to ensure a sustainable environment for cultural and artistic spaces.

The Korea Tourism Organization has selected wellness tourist destinations in order to revitalize wellness tourism, and they have announced these selections in the 2021 Wellness Tourism Directory Book. Among the selected destinations, The highest number of spa spaces was found in hotel auxiliary facilities. Given that the spa space is recognized as a haven for those seeking a healthy lifestyle, it is imperative to consider a design that aligns with this notion. Concurrently, biophilic design theory is being employed as a means to craft spaces conducive to healthy living. Consequently, this study aims to outline the design direction for hotel spa spaces geared towards physical and mental rejuvenation, employing biophilic design theory within wellness tourist destinations. The methodology of the study unfolds as follows. Firstly, through literature research, the concepts and characteristics of hotel spa spaces and biophilic design were scrutinized. Subsequently, the biophilic design features of hotel spa spaces were delineated based on the findings of the literature research. Lastly, the design direction was proposed by analyzing selected case studies. It was noted that there is an absence of natural elements within hotel spa spaces. To address this deficiency, it is imperative to introduce opportunities for experiencing nature by incorporating additional elements such as plants and hydroponics. Moreover, the primary emphasis on functional elements has resulted in a lack of indirect natural elements. To address this issue, additional photos or artworks depicting natural scenery or vegetation should be strategically positioned to capture the attention of users. In terms of the experiential aspects of space and place, there were no elements that partially obstructed views within the communal areas. To foster a sense of psychological stability and personal rejuvenation, arrangements should be made to incorporate curtains, partitions, and plants, thereby creating a more intimate and secluded ambiance.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the experiential visual merchandising strategy of pop-up stores and find out its characteristics and direction. To this end, the concept was organized through literature research, prior research, and internet data research on pop-up stores, experiences, and visual merchandising, and the components of visual merchandising and experience were derived and used as evaluation items. Then, the case space was analyzed based on the pop-up store’s operation purpose, type, space configuration, and MP (Merchandise Presentation). The case study was conducted on pop-up stores of famous brands that had been operating for more than two weeks in the Seoul area and had analytical value for visual merchandising. The research methods included store visits, visual and experiential surveys, and employee interviews, and the results were derived by reflecting the opinions of experts. The results of the study are as follows. First, that advanced retail brands mainly operated pop-up stores in the style of the in-house stores, distributors, and rental independent stores. Second, when implementing VMD of a pop-up store, it is effective to selectively implement the strategy by considering the spatial situation, characteristics, and type of store. Third, the pop-up store focused on the basic strategy (BS) rather than the VMD’s experience strategy (ES). It is necessary to give priority to spatial design that takes into account the overall harmony and unity of the store rather than spatial design that emphasizes convenience or functionality of store use. Fourth, EP’s active implementation of experience design that stimulates the five senses and involves action while emphasizing the company’s unique experience elements could be a successful VMD strategy for pop-up stores. Fifth, pop-up stores can be divided into four types depending on the purpose of store operation: brand experience type, product promotion type, product sales type, and brand experience and product sales type. In particular, for pop-up stores, it is important to clearly select the store type according to the purpose of operation and focus on a VMD strategy appropriate for it.

This research delves into the characteristics of renovated projects with contemporary additions, aiming to understand their potential impact on the field of architectural design. This study analyzes how contemporary architects creatively engage with existing buildings in Eastern United States cities, resulting in innovative and functional designs. The analysis focuses on four exemplary contemporary projects completed after 2010 that enhanced the placeness and recognizability of the original structures. A comprehensive analysis is conducted using architects' design theories, project photographs, drawings, diagrams, and other relevant materials. The selected case studies reveal a departure from passive approaches to addition. Instead, architects actively interpret historical contexts and infuse their own design vision, resulting in unique forms that harmonize with the existing structures. Notably, contemporary materials are strategically employed to resonate with the context, fostering a dialogue between past and present. This approach celebrates the existing architectural heritage while embracing new materials and functionalities. Furthermore, case studies emphasize internal connectivity within renovated buildings by highlighting various strategies, such as extending existing programs to new additions, using consistent design language or finishes, and creating internal voids for seamless interaction. In summary, renovated projects, executed through thoughtful additions, serve as an effective means to preserve the value of existing buildings while creating new functions and spaces in a highly sustainable way.

Attempts are being made to shift the center of the discourse from the subject to the object by discussing postmodern philosophy from the point of view that “the majority of the relationship in the universe does not include humans.” In the modern society, we already live in a network of various inhumane objects such as autonomous vehicles and AI. We are not liberated as independent subjects by Kant’s correlationism, which gives only a fixed meaning in it, but as mutual object beings that recognize the autonomy of surrounding objects and create new meanings through symbiotic relationships. American philosopher Graham Harmon also talks about his idea of ‘object-oriented ontology’ and presents new thinking points about the interaction and symbiotic society between humans and non-human objects. Architecture is also an equal entity that interacts with humans in society as a being with an equal status of auto-poises that create new values, not as a result of the subject. Modern architecture was nothing more than a subordinate object dominated by the human subject or following the style of the times. In modern architecture, objectivist architecture that values the autonomy of the interior of architecture, not architecture belonging to such a subject, is becoming important. In this paper, the characteristics of autonomous object formation were derived through the analysis of the process of autonomous object formation through the object withdrawal method of architecture through the objectivistic thinking of architects who talked about the autonomous formal system in architecture. Through this, modern architecture formed architecture as an autonomous object through temporary distancing, non-directive ginning relations, non-reducing formal systems, and mutual objectivity. It was found that modern buildings with such characteristics are no longer fixed beings determined by the subject, but are equal social beings that have an autonomous form and create new meanings in relation to users.

The purpose of this study is to explore the spatial design principles for educational environments based on Industry 4.0 educational concepts , within the context of embodied cognition. The goal is to contribute to the development of educational environments that are both innovative and supportive of new educational concepts such as Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication, and Collaboration?collectively known as the 4Cs. Through rigorous analysis of case studies involving elementary school facilities designed with these futuristic educational concepts in mind, this study pinpoints distinct spatial characteristics that foster such an advanced educational paradigm. Specifically, the research identifies that communal educational spaces should be (1) open and spacious to encourage collaborative learning, (2) diverse to cater to various learning styles and activities, (3) flexible to adapt to changing educational needs, and (4) sensory-enriched to support embodied learning experiences. The research proposes a comprehensive theoretical framework that incorporates these characteristics, offering concrete design directions for communal educational spaces that align with the educational imperatives of Industry 4.0. The findings highlight the necessity of a holistic educational environment where the design of communal educational spaces is pivotal to nurturing the 4Cs, signifying a paradigm shift towards an interactive and integrated learning ecosystem viewed through the lens of neuroarchitecture.

The problem of population decline in Korea has become increasingly severe due to the low birth rate and aging population. To solve this problem, a concept of ‘workcation’ utilizing idle space is introduced to attract a living population. The study aims to analyze cases of empty houses' regional connection, operation methods, and urban revitalization measures for regional revitalization. We performed theoretical considerations on ways to revitalize workspaces in areas with declining populations and conducted field research by visiting Jeju Island. The data survey was conducted by visiting six locations where the cases were located to investigate accessibility and surrounding environments, and additional necessary data was collected through the Internet. The results show that the empty houses left in the residential areas were remodeled into lodgings and provided to tourists, which affords an environment where people could live like Jeju residents. However, there is a lack of infrastructure for the work environment in terms of workspace. The focus was on the regeneration to attract local idle space and external population, but to activate workspace in areas with declining populations, accommodations and shared offices need to be planned together so that people can move conveniently on foot in a working village.
