중국 전통 궁궐 건축공간의 현대적 전시 활용 방안에 관한 연구 -고궁박물관 오문 안시루(午門雁翅樓)를 중심으로-

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) With modern architectural forms becoming more and more identical, traditional architecture has regrettably become more valuable as a non-renewable historical resource and art form that is simply transformed into an exhibition space. Traditional architecture provides an offline experience, and can be protected only through sufficient funding and by ensuring that it has an economic value of its own. Transforming traditional architectural spaces into an exhibition space is one alternative for developing and protecting them. From this perspective, this study aims to explore the applications of traditional architecture to present new design ideas for converting them into modernized exhibition spaces to provide the visitors a unique offline experience. (Method) A literature review showed that the traditional architecture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties was widely distributed in China, and acted as a foundation for Tang and Song Dynasties, resulting in a unified form of architecture. A case analysis of the Ancient Palace Omun Ansiru’s exhibition hall helped reveal the spatial format and components of the four exhibitions organized in the hall between 2017 and 2020. This study involved both a theoretical examination and a case. (Results) This study identified five factors that are necessary for converting traditional architectural spaces as exhibition spaces: space openness, convenience of movement, clarity of exhibits, subject compatibility, and architectural fusion. In the case of the Omun Ansiru Exhibition Hall, the traditional architectural elements are managed through plans for light and spatial structure arrangements to ensure that the original structure and decor of the building remain intact. The plan is applied to the exhibition space for each architectural element by controlling the traditional factors. When using the interior space of the traditional architectural building as an exhibition space, the plan must ensure the primitive form of the space is not restricted to the extent possible. In exhibitions that involve traditional cultural elements, one can quickly adapt to the gridded space pattern of the pillars by taking advantage of traditional architectural features. (Conclusions) The traditional architectural façade is set against the background of modern architectural features resembling a city and uses the craft technology with regional characteristics to communicate the meaning of its cultural symbols and history; this makes traditional architecture valuable for research. Traditional buildings do not just have one method of utilization; modernizing traditional architectural elements also enables them to be converted into exhibition spaces. The analytical methods used in this study is expected to aid scholars in evaluating the applicability of traditional architectural buildings as an exhibition space.
