| Abstract |
The sustainability of public spaces in modern urban environments has emerged as a critical issue. This issue is closely linked to the process of placemaking, where public spaces evolve beyond mere physical environments through citizen behavior and interaction. Consequently, it is essential to explore how pavilions, as an element of public design, contribute to placemaking and the development of sustainable public spaces. This study aims to analyze how pavilions shape placemaking and identify their design elements from a public design perspective. To achieve this, the study examines the relationship between the three key components of place? physical environment, human activity, and meaning?and the design characteristics of pavilions. The research establishes an analytical framework based on the Sangsang Blue Pavilion competition guidelines. Based on this framework, an analysis of eight award-winning projects from the competition reveals that these pavilions incorporate regional waste materials to establish physical and sustainable characteristics. At the same time, they integrate diverse experiential elements derived from human activity, serving as a medium for conveying environmental messages. This study demonstrates that pavilions function as public design elements that contribute to placemaking in urban public spaces. Furthermore, it provides insights into future directions for sustainable public design |
