| Abstract |
This paper investigates the change of urban architecture in Jongno 2(i)-ga since 1978 and discusses the meanings of the change in the perspective of urban design. The urban fabrics in Gongpyeong District and the north side of Jongno 2(i)-ga are analyzed in terms of 'sustainability', 'diversity', and 'permeability'. 'Sustainability' means the continuity of urban fabrics in times, and 'diversity' means more provisions for diverse activities. 'Permeability' is an index to evaluate the pedestrian mobility, which means the pedestrian network. The result of the study shows that the three factors in the research site have been seriously affected by the urban redevelopments since 1978. The quality of the living environment of the research site in terms of 'sustainability', 'diversity', and 'permeability' has been gradually deteriorated as the redevelopments have been carried out. 'Sustainability' has been drastically decreased. 'Diversity' and the 'Permeability' have become worse as well. This paper suggests that it is time to consider alternatives against the ongoing scrape and rebuild-redevelopment. New methods that either maintain or boost the sustainability, diversity and permeability, which guarantee the urban environmental, quality is highly needed. |
