순천만국가정원의 장소성 구축을 위한 공간스토리텔링 연구 - 오래된 상상력을 체화(embodiment)하는 새로운 낙원

Abstract

After finishing the International Expo in 2013, the newly opened Suncheon Bay National Garden was born with two attributes of fair and garden space. Now the challenge is to sell more tickets and get more people to attend these events. Also, there is a challenge to get people to come multiple times. To solve this problem, we compared the attractiveness of the theme park developed from the fair and the garden prototype and the return visit strategy. There is a very important concept called spatial imagination and embodiment at the core of these spaces. ‘Spatial imagination’ emphasizes that human beings connect imagination using various symbols and meanings when they experience space. This is embodied as an internalized scenario through the body. Maximizing this is characteristic of space contents like gardens, fairs, and theme parks. The process of intensifying embodiment happens through the ‘theme design’ phase where the place is subjectively magnetized, and the ‘space design’ stage, which creates a familiar space through the old place memory. As you can see from the theme design of Disneyland’s magic kingdom, you can compare that the themes that pass through the Suncheon Bay National Garden stop on the theme of the general garden of ‘healing and slow’. In addition, unlike Disneyland with the medieval castle inside a central square, the space design of Suncheon Bay National Garden has a “looped” structure that moves only in one direction. There are many areas that need improvement since it does not show the appearance of facades that show each nation’s culture. The theme and design principle of the unfamiliar and familiar space all maximize the experience through ‘embodiment’ in which the visitor’s body magnetizes the old imagination.
