Aim & Scope

Architectural Research is a refereed international journal, devoted exclusively to the art and science of architecture, urbanism, and architectural engineering. The journal is edited by the Architectural Institute of Korea (AIK), and published quarterly. The Institute was founded in 1945 and is now incorporated as a non-profit educational and scientific institution. The AIK serves as a centre for information on research and development in architecture, urbanism, and architectural engineering. The scope of the journal involves the aspects of science, technology and art in architecture, urbanism, and architectural engineering. Therefore, architectural planning and design, project management, structural engineering, structural engineering, building materials, environmental engineering, information technology, and other fields related to built environment should be included in this journal. The editors welcome good quality contributions from all over the world. The official title of the journal 'International Journal of the Architectural Institute of Korea' and the abbreviated title is 'Architectural Research (AR)'. This journal are indexed in Korea Citation Index, Korea Science. The URL address of the Journal is http://eaaraik.org where full text is available.

    This study aims to clarify the regional role, usage status, and evaluation of various outdoor destinations, such as parks and plazas. For preschoolers and their parents, who spend relatively limited time with their children, outdoor playgrounds such as parks are valuable places. This study discusses the characteristics of such places in each region. Forty five parents from Setagaya-ku, To-kyo, and Tama City were part of the study. The results were organized by region using photographs, positions, evaluations, and description information from the parks by the caption evaluation method to find the most effective placement of these areas.

    This paper introduces the concept of temporary utopia, which is private rather than communal and individual rather than collective, to investigate a paradoxical relationship between longing and loss in the individuals' utopian process. The main argument is grounded in Ernst Bloch's critical theory of utopia, which gives more weight to its function and process rather than its form and destination, which is the opposite of the traditional utopian imagination. The notion of temporality as utopic-spatial consequences is illustrated with a case study of New Malden's North Korean community in London, United Kingdom. Through the examination of North Koreans' utopianism, it amplifies how the individual memories, emotions, and longings are re-created, re-built and re-imagined in the form of temporary utopias to incorporate the endless ideals and changing conditions of the individuals. This investigation sheds new light on urban ethnic enclaves as utopia in the realm of architecture and urbanism.

    Due to budgetary constraints, national landmarks symbolic of country's power and cultural stature face significant limitations in their creation. Within the current total project cost management system, there are considerable restrictions on constructing cultural facilities with various forms and designs, and there exists a societal need for a design-first administrative system for public buildings that demand artistry and symbolism. This study explores the potential and limitations of applying exceptions to the total project cost management system through the designation of representative artistic architecture. It discusses directions for the implementation of government-level systems. To this end, a literature review on budget management and national project management was conducted, and an analysis of related policy cases both do-mestically and internationally was performed to select applicable examples and consider their implications for policy utilization within the domestic context. The results discuss the necessity of public art building construction, the issues with construction budgets, and the in-volvement of world-class architects. Analytical implications include the need for realistic budget setting for construction projects, establishing clear promotion criteria, and creating a phased process and expert evaluation panel.

    This study examined the political, social, and historical characteristics of the Great Mosque of Algiers, alongside its functional, spatial, and symbolic aspects. Generally, mosques are buildings where religious expression is profoundly intense, making it challenging to apply new types and designs. However, the Great Mosque of Algiers successfully inherits traditional Islamic features while simultaneously embodying modernity at an international level. The results of the multifaceted analysis of the convergence of tradition and modernity in this contemporary architectural work are as follows: First, through research on Islamic architecture, the study identified the functional and spatial characteristics expressed in Islamic buildings. In particular, the study highlighted the features of the Külliye as a multi-use building complex and provided a detailed analysis of symbolic elements such as minarets, domes, ablution facilities, and mihrabs, which are strongly emphasized in mosques where religious features are prominently displayed. Second, the analysis of the Great Mosque of Algiers' architectural plan explored the inte-gration of tradition and modernity. Traditional elements are akin to the identity of the building and contribute to its overall value. Third, by examining the development process of the Great Mosque of Algiers project, the study analyzed the international cooperation required in the modern era, understanding the hybrid nature of this architectural project.

    The profound impact of earthquakes on human lives and the built environment emphasizes the substantial human and economic losses result-ing from structural collapses. Many researchers in this field highlight the longstanding societal challenge posed by earthquakes and under-score the imperative to minimize such losses. Over the decades, researchers have dedicated efforts to seismic design, focusing on improv-ing structural performance to mitigate earthquake-induced damages. This has led to the development of various structural analysis methods. In this research, a specific RC frame structure (401 Bldg.) at Kyungpook National University that is designed for educational purposes, serves as a representative case. This research employs SAP 2000 for simulation, aiming to assess the structural performance under seismic condi-tions, focusing on evaluating the structural behavior under different column orientations. This research utilizes RSA (Response Spectrum Analysis) to comprehensively examine parameters of displacement, base shear force, base moment, joint radians, and story drift. Referring to the results from RSA, this research also assesses the structural performance using LTHA (Linear Time History Analysis) by conducting synthetic frequency domain and synthetic time domain analyses based on the seismic wave from the Kobe 1995 earthquake (Abeno). Based on the findings from the discussions, this research is expected to be a valuable reference for structural design within seismic resistance and the seismic reinforcement of existing RC frame structures.
