A Chronological Analysis of Spatial Structure in Korean Government Buildings through Space Syntax

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the spatial structure of public office facilities in a syntactic manner to examine the aspects of power and public nature expressed at the spatial level of public office facilities, and to analyze common characteristics by compiling the results into chronological units. The purpose of this study is to identify the historical trajectory of public office facilities and to understand that the compatibility methodology of public office facilities is under historical and social influence by contrasting the process of architectural space change with the period and political system. Method: In this study, examples of public office buildings that were newly constructed through modern and contemporary history of Korean architecture are collected and analyzed from the 19th to the early 21st century. In order to secure objectivity in the direction of spatial analysis, quantitative analysis methods are introduced to establish an objective framework. It was expected that quantified indicators would provide assessment tools to identify and quantify the characteristics of spatial structures and interpret the spatial relationship system as a value-neutral representation system. Result: The symmetry of the space structure of public office facilities, quantitative securing and accessibility of public space, and representation of power space showed that changes in the spatial structure of public office facilities and their characteristics were changing. c 2021.
