재외 한국문화원의 운영 프로그램과 공간디자인에 관한 연구

Abstract

The overseas Korean Cultural Centers have served asa pivotal communicational platform for the cross-cultur alexchanges and propagation of Korean culture. Recognizing their functional importances, it is required to create appropriate placeness considering their functions. The spatial design of the overseas Korean Cultural Centers is closely related with the operation programs offered therein. Thus, this study will study the spatial design of overseas Korean Cultural Centers. This study classifies the operation programs into six categories: 1) modern culture; 2)toursim; 3) education; 4) life; 5) culture and economy; and 6) traditional culture and identifies five spatial design elements: 1) placeness; 2) communication; 3)experience; 4) function; and 5) sensibility. Therefore the spatial design process for the overseas Korean Cultural Centers should be deliberately directed toward wisely incorporating various spatial requirements of the programs intended therein, in terms of the multi-functionality, flexibility of space, experiencial role, and sensibility, from the early planning stage.
