역사문화환경 보존지구의 특성을 반영한 초등학교 색채디자인에 관한 연구 -서울 풍납초등학교 외부색채를 중심으로-

Abstract

(Research background and purpose) Colors affect the development of children’s thinking and emotions. As a place where children spend long periods of time, school has an especially significant psychological effect on the emotions of space users. As a public building, it is also necessary to consider harmony with the surrounding scenery and visual pollution in the exterior colors of a school. However, incidents of school officials lacking in expertise deciding the matter have frequently occurred. Hence, this study intended to find a desirable direction for color planning in schools in historic and cultural environment preservation districts by reflecting on the color images of a historical and cultural resource, the Pungnaptoseong Fortress, through user participation workshops. (Method) This study determined the process of the “Coloring Your School Yourselves” project and characteristics of the target area of this study, Poongnaptoseong Fortress, through theoretical consideration. This study developed color design through field investigation, surveys, and workshops. Then, it conducted a review of color design by suggesting color simulation and a desirable direction for color design in elementary schools in historic and cultural environment preservation districts. (Result) This study increased understanding of the preservation district through user color workshops and explained the value of the historical and cultural resource, Pungnaptoseong Fortress. This study also intended to extract colors by looking into related data and relics and extracting colors that reflected the findings. As a result, users increased their esteem for Poongnap Elementary School and learned about the importance of colors in the school environment. Step 5 of the color workshop conducted practical training under the theme “Drawing My Dream School.” To this end, this study restructured school colors based on the color workshop up to step 4. However, students used warm, bright colors they preferred instead of colors extracted from historical sites and relics. (Conclusion) Poongnap Elementary School has the distinct characteristic of being a historic and cultural environment preservation district near Pungnaptoseong Fortress. The color design concept is of a “school imbued with happy dreams of Pungnap,” and this study conducted color planning to represent the happiness and dreams of students by reflecting the regional characteristics of Pungnap in the school colors. This study intended to create a final color design that reflected the colors of the preservation district but accepted the opinion to apply bright colors in accordance with the characteristics of the elementary school. Continuous application of this participatory color design planning is required in the future, but various research methods and follow-up studies on guidelines for reflecting regional characteristics of school color design will be needed in historic and cultural environment preservation districts.
