| Abstract |
Noting that “Special Architecture District(SAD)” in Korea has not been effective in improving the quality of the urban landscape and securing social equity through creative and prominent building designs, this study focuses on the factors why SAD has not been widely used so far and what institutional improvements should be made. This study argues that the current SAD situation lacks its actual management cases or plans and this becomes certain obstacles against developing SAD, because it fails to provide “consensus” among various stakeholders in plan-making processes. In particular, many districts of the “Bogemsari” Housing in the Kangnam ward of Seoul metropolitan area utilize SAD regulations, and there are challenges to overcome, which could be bases for improving SAD. Also, by analyzing other architectural and urban planning regulations, relevant to SAD,, this study helps to understand the intentions and goals of SAD. In addition, this study helps to develop basic frameworks for revitalizing SAD and its successful operation in the architectural and urban planning field of Korea. |
