□ Course Description

1. Course Objectives :

At or prior to the termination of this course the student shall be able to:

1) Explain the meaning and characteristics of various functional complexes including housing complex.

2) Deal with various functional complexes from decision making stage to planning and design stage including basic engineering.

3) Understand the theories, standards and guidelines related to the complex planning

4) Enhance planning and design ability by applying their knowledge and skill on a simulated PUD project.

2. Course Outline :

The course includes lectures focused on contemporary theories on community planning, planning process, and analysis methods, and studio works.

3. Course Method :

The course begins with lectures in order for students to learn basic knowledge, 3 hours per week during the first quarter of the semester. Then, the student presentation on case study will be mixed with lectures in the middle of the semester. During the later part of the semester, studio exercise will be introduced to the student along the lectures. The final student presentation will sum up all their skills learned during the studio as well as the lectures.

□ Course Outline

2. Case Study and Presentation Method

1) Case Study : Single Detached Housing Complex and Small-scale

Multi-family Housing Complex

◦ Preparation Method

- Search for and collect information from single detached Housing complex and small-scale multi-family housing complex which show homogeneity and special characters.

- Get a base map which has building footage on it. Enlarge it for recording all the findings, analysis, and concepts.

- Research the history of the housing complex and find out its influences on house layout and house form.

- Research the history of the district, and find out how this type of building could group together.

- Calculate the FAR of each lot or complex, and analyze how this FAR influenced living environment.

- Find out the kinds of uses, if commercial activities infiltrated into the housing area.

- Find out the physical characteristics such as street frontage, depth of the lot, depth-width ratio, main orientation, lot size, lot shape.

- Find out the characteristics of local streets such as layout, change of the width, parking, and surrounding environment within the district.

- Find out what kind of changes is happening and how this change will affect the district in the future.

- Tell what the problems in the district now and in the future are, and how we can cope with the issues.

◦ Probable Research Site

- Traditional Korean housing district

- Single Detached Housing Complex and Small-scale Multi-family Housing Complex within old urban area

- Single Detached Housing Complex in new towns

- High density rural village in Green Belt, or old National Housing Complexes built in 1960's.

2) Case Study: Multi-family Apartment

◦ Preparation Method

- Select either a housing complex of townhouse(or flat) which shows homogeneity and special characters or large-scale multi-family housing complex.

- In case of choosing townhouse as the case, collect the floor plans for each level and find out the characteristics of mass, space and units.

- Find out what kind of changes is happening and how this change will affect the district in the future.

- Find out the characteristics such as layout, change of the width, parking etc. of surrounding streets as well as internal streets.

- Find out whether there is any variety in building layout, and if so, for what they did that.

- Find out noise level at the street side and outdoor air quality.

- Find out the FAR of the complex and how this FAR affects actual life in the complex.

- Find out how the security and safety of the complex is managed and maintained.

- Find out the characteristics of the complex in terms of urban landscape. What are the characteristics when seen from the outside of the complex, and seen from the inside?

- Find out whether urban landscape planning was done from the design stage of the complex.

- Tell what the problems in the complex now and in the future are, and how we can cope with the issues.

◦ Probable Research Site

- High-class townhouse complex(so called villa) with more than 50 units

- Single apartment tower

- Middle-class townhouse complex with more than 100 units

- Five story apartment complex

- High-rise apartment complex

- Mixed-use apartment complex

3) Case Study: Shopping Center Development

◦ Preparation Method

- Choose one huge shopping center with specialty shops, department stores, wholesale marts, discount stores, shopping mall.

- Collect the drawings of floor plans, elevations, and sections, and analyze them.

- Analyze the location characteristics of each uses such as foods, clothing, books, cinema, department stores, etc.

- Research the relationship between shopping facilities and hotel and offices.

- Find out which facilities lure more customers and which facilities make more profits

- Search places which attract people.

- Research and evaluate the movement pattern, orientation, the quality of space, etc.

- Tell what the problems now and in the future are, and how we can cope with the issues.

◦ Probable Research Site

- Jamsil Lotte Department Store - Lotte World

- Coex Mall

- Banpo Express Bus Terminal - Central City

- Others(Bundang: Samsung Plaza, Carfour, Bus Terminal, Seoul: Gangbyun-station, Seoul Station, Dongdaemoon, etc.)

3. PUD Project

◦ Team

- Two students work together as a team.

◦ Basic Guidelines

- Balance cut and fill, and suggest how to calculate them.

- The slope of the streets should not exceed 1/12.

- Use accurate drawing skills for reasonable lot division.

- Keep the same width for a road unless special reason.

- Supply reasonable number of neighborhood facilities such as schools, and local shops.

- In case of single detached house, consider reasonable width-depth ratio of each lot for good sun light exposure.

- Diversify building layout and skyline of the complex. Protect units from the street noise.

- All design criteria used in the project should meet the current building codes and regulations for the multi-family housing development.

◦ Contents and Presentation Method

- The final submission must include ①Master plan(using color code for each land uses), ②Systems(Street System, Open Space System, etc.), ③Model(1/500 with block-type building without details), ④Written Description(Area for each land uses, Building footage, FAR, Number of units and parking, etc.)

- Distinctly express pedestrian way from driving lane with lines and colors. Distinctly draw the parking lines.

- Show all the related data such as FAR, building footage, number of units for each housing types.
