| Abstract |
Jamsil low-rise residential superblock is a unique instance of Korean urban planning in that it used Land Readjustment technique, a traditional means of urban development since the Japanese colonial era, while realizing Western-originated physical plan for Neighborhood Unit. The modernization during and after the Japanese occupation has introduced urban planning concepts and principles such as Land Readjustment, Zoning, Neighborhood Unit Theory, and Superblock in different times, and they all have influenced on Korean residential planning to some extent. However, they were used fragmentarily and never synthesized in urban planning. In Jamsil district, a comprehensive urban plan was commenced as an attempt to integrate three different urban planning concepts, and Jamsil low-rise residential superblock synthesized these heterogeneous elements within a superblock. Even though Jamsil low-rise residential superblock was not a faithful implementation of Neighborhood plan of Western suburban residential superblock, its design concepts and such devices as loops, closed corners, community centers, and green planning, all planned under the restriction of Land Readjustment had nevertheless something in common with the Neighborhood plan. As a Neighborhood residential superblock planned by comprehensive plan and carried out by Land Readjustment technique, which was a realistic method of urban planning of the time, Jamsil Low-rise residential Superblock clearly shows a evolution of Korean residential superblock. |
