시대적 가치관에 따른 주방 및 주방 디자인 변화

Abstract

This study seeks to analyze how the changes of living space and value systems in accordance with sociocultural changes would influence the kitchen design. Firstly through the literature analysis, it identified the changes of housing space by dividing lifestyle culture into four categories: views on family, views on occupation, views on housing, and views on life. Based on this category, this paper interprets the changes in kitchen design. Firstly, the kitchen design changed into an open style that integrated the kitchen and the living room on the same level. The arrangement of the kitchen that allows users to face the living room while working in the kitchen reflects the changing social values. The second point in kitchen design change is that many changes in the kitchen design reflected the new view on family that facilitated the communication within the family. Also, many among these changes also agreed with the new view on occupation with the large-scale storage space and the rationalized work-flow. The changes by the new view on housing were diversified materials. Finally, the changes by the new lifestyle expressed in the leisurely kitchen design for reading. Accordingly, the elements like family centered and leisurely kitchen would not be just necessary but prerequisite conditions Therefore, these can hard to become a new direction for kitchen design any more. Instead, the paper proposes the bold application of the less utilized design concepts for the aged, the single, the children, and the Green kitchen.
