국립세종수목원 탄소 제로 ‘숨[SUM] 더하기’ 모델정원 설계

Abstract

Since the international community pursued the carbon-neutral policy for climate change, carbon related issues have been presented as a task that stands out in public gardens as well. According with this situation, it is necessary to show and demonstrate guides on garden strategies concerning on this important issues through model gardens. This study schematizes and diagrams the design process and results of the carbon zero ‘SUM plus’ model garden in Sejong National Arboretum, and describes it from the first-person point of view, aiming to contribute to effectively conveying the design issues and strategies, and extending the scalability of garden culture. The most important point was to create a symbolized garden that absorb as much carbon as possible by ‘adding (plus)’ the land and plants that ‘breathe (sum)’ naturally and healthily as an interpretation of zero carbon. In other words, we tried to contain the connotation so that it works as a model garden that accelerates ‘carbon 0 (zero)’. To express this, a strategy was established to create a sound planting base, select plant species according to various vegetation environments, and use carbon-reducing materials by using ‘Sumgol (spiracle)’ distributed in Jeju Island as a motif. In addition, a master plan consisting of five spaces, space-specific plans, planting plans, and facility plans were established. This garden deals with the humanities and social science or ecological themes that cause contemporary cultural characteristics and social issues as design motif in a model garden. It is also significant that it contributed to expand the social role of a garden in relation not only to the functional and practical aspects of enjoying physical space such as resting, cultivating, healing, and enjoying but also to ideological and practical aspects.
