Mixed Use Complex 디자인에 관한 연구 -업무/상업/문화오락/주거기능 복합의 사례분석을 중심으로-

Mixed Use Area (Multifaceted Integration) is getting increasingly demanded since it has several merits such as preventing CBD from being emptied during night time, making daily life comfortable and utilizing the land more efficiently. However, the characteristic of Mixed Use Area -as advantages of it-, which is that it combines residence, retail, office, cultural, entertainment facilities altogether could be regarded as a weakness when it is viewed from each functions' original purposes such as residential and retail areas'. Accordingly, it is needed to do basic research and develop design guidelines of the Mixed Use Area to prepare its another take-off. The purpose of this research is to study theoretical background of Mixed Use Area's birth, understand its status quo by examining examples overseas and presented possible standardized ways of developing it.
