포스터파트너스의 작품에서 나타난 지속가능한 건축계획 특성 연구

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) Since the Industrial Revolution, society has focused on industrial development, resulting in massive greenhouse gas emissions that have accelerated global warming. Global warming and abnormal climate phenomena have caused increasing social, economic, and environmental damage. With carbon neutrality as a key issue in modern society, there is a growing interest in and need for sustainability. Since the 1960s, Foster + Partners, the firm of British architect Norman Foster, has pursued sustainable design, continuously maintaining efforts to address social responsibilities and prepare for social and environmental challenges. However, to ensure a sustainable future for the construction industry, which is a major contributor to carbon emissions, it is essential to examine and analyze technical and social problem-solving measures. Therefore, this study proposes criteria applicable to future societies based on Foster + Partners’ design technologies and corporate operations. (Methods)This study proposes sustainable solutions for achieving carbon neutrality by examining Foster's approach to sustainable architecture and the corporate operations of Foster + Partners, which prioritize sustainable social responsibility. Based on the characteristics of sustainable architecture, this study presents criteria applicable to creating a sustainable environment in modern society, focusing on architectural design processes, building maintenance strategies, and the social responsibilities of the construction industry. Additionally, case studies are used to propose recommendations for applying sustainability criteria to future societies using corporate social environment responsibility (CSER). (Results)The design proposals derived from the study emphasize recognizing the importance of social issues and responsibilities, and planning for a society that communicates harmoniously with a healthy environment. Currently, architecture varies in purpose: government buildings often lack improvements in the physical environment due to public interest, whereas corporate buildings align with societal standards but face limitations in public accessibility. Complementing these limitations with balanced social responsibility indicators can foster sustainability. Earlier sustainable architectural trends involved high-tech and eco-friendly construction, cultural preservation, and urban regeneration. Although design firms have advanced sustainability through technical developments, collaboration between society and governments is essential. The synergistic efforts of corporate expertise, active government collaboration, and community participation have created a new, sustainable architectural paradigm. (Conclusion)As time progresses, sustainable architectural solutions continue to evolve, focusing not only on corporate social responsibility but also on collective societal responsibility. This study highlighted the importance of addressing problems with solutions tailored to contemporary trends and social contexts. By proposing a methodology rooted in public and technical collaboration between corporations and governments, this study offers new design strategies suitable for future societies to achieve carbon neutrality and balanced development.
