A Study on Spatial Design Configuration Based on Re-appropriation Characteristics of Adaptive Space

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) The convergence of various technologies in the 4th industrial revolution requires spatial flexibility through extension of relationships. The existing simple physical variability is fusing space and space users in more innovative ways. This study tried to approach this point of view in the direction of adaptive space. Various modifications of adaptive space converge to the value of place, leading to its re-appropriation, and it is intended to study how this affects space designers. Atypicality, characteristics of organic space, variable structure, introduction of new technologies, and hyperconnection of the Internet of Things are creating a new design paradigm by extending the areas of spatial awareness. (Method) In order to enhance the value of adaptive space, this study first checked the theory of the field of adaptive space, and mentioned Deleuze's nonrepresentation as a process. Later, a variable planning methodology was presented to discuss the re-appropriation characteristic from a difference-generating point of view. Based on it, it was defined that adaptive space contains physical, non-physical, and artificial functions, and a detailed study was conducted by configuring the case analysis of the narrative method. Based on these results, it is intended to suggest spatial values and directions of modification and re-appropriation. (Results) The characteristics of modification and re-appropriation of adaptive space contain variable functionality. Six frames were proposed as a classification system for each function. The six classification systems of responsive, module, adaptable, integrative, space-saving and openened are related to the re-appropriation characteristic as a spatial characteristic. Responsiveness and module structure, was explained from the perspective of responding to space users, and adaptable and integrative structure, was explained as a non-physical function with temporality and adaptation. Lastly, space-saving and openened structure, is a fusion characteristic summarized from the perspective of social values and user behavior. These are characteristics that express the validity of various designs as a re-appropriated space characteristic. (Conclusions) As spatial design encounters advanced technology and is considered as a convergence space, the realization of space is facing various changes. The technology to build a smart environment supports the spatiality of modification, which has ushered in the era of adaptive space. The re-appropriation of adaptive space extends the usability of modern space through modification, and is evolving with various temporal and place values. This study focused on three perspectives. The first is that space is a continuous flow space rather than a single unit, the second is that time is inherent in the spatial program from various perspectives, and the third is that boundaries are perceived differently by space users. The re-appropriation characteristics of adaptive space are expected to be reflected in various design practices against the background.
