| Abstract |
This study aims to develop a spatial analysis framework based on bodily perception by reinterpreting Francis D. K. Ching’s principles of spatial composition from the perspective of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s concept of bodily perception. Through a literature review, five analytical categories were derived: directional perception, depth formation, boundary transition, body?space relationship, and behavioral induction, comprising 45 detailed indicators. The framework was applied to five case spaces: Solgeo Art Museum, Museum SAN, Soyoheon and Myeongjeong in Sayuwon, and Leeum Museum of Art M1. Five experts independently assessed each indicator on a 0?2 point scale using photographs and drawings. Their mean scores were calculated for each indicator and aggregated by category and case. The evaluation results revealed differences in spatial characteristics across the five cases. Myeongjeong received the highest total mean score (79.8), followed by Leeum Museum of Art M1 (75.4) and Museum SAN (74.8). All five experts assigned identical scores to 131 of 225 evaluated items (58.2%). These findings suggest the preliminary applicability of the proposed framework for comparing spatial characteristics based on bodily perception, while indicating the need to refine assessment criteria for more consistent evaluations. |
