디자인자산으로의 북촌한옥마을

Abstract

These days, we affirm the international style, yet a design element, tradition which is the national characteristic has been recognized as the significant factor in terms of the international competitiveness that led to the discussion on tradition in the design field. The concept, [national characteristic], [tradition], is the original element that went through long years, coming down to us and when it is combined to the present, it becomes more meaningful. From this perspective, Bukchon Hanok Village that has both 'time-variant' of 600 years and 'synchronism' as an actual, current residence will be a significant design asset for the development of Korean urban design. So, the design and formative values of Bukchon Hanok Village were studied. Bukchon Hanok Village and Hanok(tradtional Korean-style house) went through the periods of Hanyang, Gyeongseong and Seoul and were developed, reflecting the culture and ideology of those periods. Especially, Geonggi province type Hanok, an open ㅁ-shaped Hanok was introduced to the urban space and developed into an urban type Hanok, the characteristic of Bukchon. Today, Bukchon Hanok is used as more modernized and improved residential Hanok and commercial facilities. An individual Hanok was influenced by the thought based on the philosophy of life, nature and spirits of the time to form a unique space, shape, color and pattern(decoration). In addition, an aesthetic value of Bukchon Hanok Village expanded the formative value of Hanok as well as the traditional elements of individual Hanok which can be seen in the street landscape and urban landscape. That is, the piled up roof represents the regional aesthetic sense, the community that forms the urban landscape shows the collective aesthetic sense, sharing of house and composition of house refers to the formal aesthetic sense, the yard and garden which are the extension of wooden floor space represents the connecting aesthetic sense, the decorative features reflect the design sense and the winding alley that is formed creates the intimate, aesthetic sense. Bukchon Hanok visually presents the Confucian culture and it is a design asset of Seoul built based on the aesthetic sense of many Seoul citizens for many years. on comes not only from the individualHanok, but also from the unique urban landscape generated by the elements of Hanok stretched out to the street; local aesthetics of Bukchon emerges when the roofs of individual Hanok facing each others and the walls shared by neighbors. Therefore, there exist various aesthetic consciousnesses concerning Bukchon: the collective aesthetics of its urban landscape generated by piled-up view of roofs and shared walls the constructive aesthetics of Hanok’s individual rooms and the arrangement of them; the correlational aesthetics found in front yard and garden as an extension of the communal floor; the decorative aesthetics of unique patters found in Hanok; and the organic aesthetics of curved streets formed along the waterways.
