| Abstract |
This study focuses on Landscape Urbanism, which views 'landscape' as a design medium for mapping out post-industrial urban regeneration. Landscape Urbanism studies the phenomenon of emerging urban spaces in the post-industrial era(brownfields, landfills, etc.) being redeveloped into cultural complexes for citizens' leisure and sightseeing. It is furthermore conceived as a theoretical discussion that can provide direct solutions to today's urban circumstances. The discussion first started in the West where the industrialization and post-industrialization spread earlier, which has been actively debated since then in North America and Europe. Since the late 1990s however, Korea has witnessed the implementation of such projects that claim to advocate Landscape Urbanism, and public discourse on those urban phenomena has become popular more recently. These trends are getting prevalent not only in Korea but are spreading in the third world countries beyond North America and Europe. At this point, the time has come that Korea needs to pay more attention to the proper application of Landscape Urbanism and encourage discussions on its theoretical development. In this context, this research attempts to answer the following questions with the ultimate aim of presenting future prospects for Korean Landscape Urbanism: 'what are the differences between Landscape Urbanism implemented in Korea and the West?' and and 'if there's any, what is the proper means for its application and is it possible to provide guidance on direction of improvement?' |
