The mixed-use building is certainly one of the significant alternatives for urban dwelling based on the over-crowded urban condition as well as the ever-changing contemporary life patterns. It is clear that residential and other programs somehow are becoming more separated in most high quality mixed-use buildings in Seoul. Thus making the space between residential and other programs where diverse multi activities can be inserted is extremely important in terms of bridging the different urban programs. This research aims to briefly analyze the mixed-use programs in contemporary cities and case projects to see how they respond to unique characteristics of each projects by creating different mixed zones and spaces.

The aim of this study is to find out the changes that have happened to korea DA-BANG(tea-room). This survey was carried out from 1876 to 1997 and the subject of this study is korea DA-BANGS in Seoul. Following conclusions were obtained from this study. 1) DA-BANG came into being from Koryo ages and more DA-BANGS from 1920's. 2) DA-BANG has changed in the following order : GAEWHA DA-BAHG(that were used to meet, communicate and negotiate foreigners when out country was opening ports), MUNWHA DA-BANG(that were used cultural space for example, exhibitio, display etc.), SEANGWHAL DA-BANG(the place that used a part of living space ; meeting friends to make appointment, etc.), SANGUB DA-BANG(commercial tea-room ; the place that makes money.) 3) Considering early MUNWHA DA-BANG, we can regard the beginning of korea interior architecture as 1920's. 4) The decline of DA-BANG is due to the increase of vending machine, expensive tea, costly rent, employee's dear wages and customer's needs that pursues westernization and convenient life as well as the moodof more comfortable tea-room(for example, fresh air, agreeable mood etc.).

This spatial inclusion in actual housings are realized in the division of cellular space, formation of room through frontality, transition of room through material surface, and the dual-systemizing of circulation into function and formality. This simultaneously establishes the self-sufficiency of individual spaces and the interrelations between volumes, and leads to Raumplan, which is a form of architecture that gradually includes space within space. Though its dichotomous consideration of space. It economizes their use, which answers to the actual request of architecture in the modern era.

This study aims to investigate the changing roles of Local Government and the ways to improve the space plan, especially focusing on the Local Government civil service space of Seoul City. Recently, many Local Government have endeavored to get rid of the authoritative images and change themselves to a space featuring cultural functions and efficient performance. Local Government buildings in Seoul City are trying to decorate the inner and outer images through new construction or extension of buildings so as to become more friendly to residents. Such efforts are visualized especially in civil service space. Civil service space represents the whole image and role of the Local Government. In addition, civil service space and resting space, which are frequently used, are correlated and more and more accessible to each other as administrative and civil services are increasing. By integrating and developing such features, civil service space of Local Government that meets the requirements of the new era will be presented.

The purpose of this study is to derive the design characteristics of the pattern, which can effectively support the building facade design and to analyze the correlation of their characteristics. This paper deals with five different design patterns suggested by Ben Pell. They are the applied pattern, perforated pattern, layered pattern, casting pattern, and tiled pattern. This paper analyzes the design characteristics of the applied pattern, which shows the highest point in the previous survey. The 'continuous' has a high emotional correlation. The high correlation with the emotional word 'continuous' and 'regular' was derived. The final emotional design characteristic is 'continuous-discontinuous', and 'irregular-regular'. and these emotional words can be summarized as the relatively highest correlation. In this paper, it is worth analyzing design characteristics of building facade by a support of digital technology and discussing utilization of design characteristics derived.

This study examines potential growth and different perspectives on green-walls, which are being re-evaluated recently. The aim is to identify the viewer preferences concerning the walls by collecting a wide spectrum of information to create an interior design related comprehensive and intellectual database. Also based on this proposition, choosing a green surface of indoor wall as a specific example stimulus, identifying a relationship betweeationsviewer's preference factors. The relationship will formulate detailed and absolute qualities, which will reach potential areas that the green walls can be widely applied in. As a result of a factor analysis, the viewers classified into the 3 factors as is pleasant, gorgeous and rich about the stimulus. Preferred key factors, which are closely related to emotional image language, were; cool, tidy, comfortable and beautiful. The common factors in preferred design stimulus, in order of importance are color>elements>image/form/plants. Specific levels of design factors according to relevance are contrast>furniture> modern>central/creeper foliage plants. In the meantime, this study is leading the process of quantitative measurement of green-walls to a new design direction and it is critical to consistently experimenting to back up the theory with solid evidence.

The plastic furniture made of new materials has enriched and broadened our everyday life not only through development of manufacture but also through consumptions since 1960′s. In relation as well to the need of reducing energy consumption and contributing to environment, the weight of plastic materials has raised concerns in recently. It should be pointed out that development of design technology, which would be risky to develop these synthetic materials was the strategic foundation of Kartell of which principal know-how with plastic techniques. Our rapidly changing lifestyle demands a new design that meet recognition of inflection. In conclusion as we are preparing to enter into the 21st Century, we should go forward with hope and do so with dispatch-dazzling all of us with boldness, thinking imaginatively, transform indifference into action, moving things to the next level in furniture industries, asking the "historic background of designing in plastic seat furniture" questions, challenging the very examples of the past in Kartell, Italy. From this study we have found that it would be useful to understand that the development of technological plastic materials for seat furniture has enabled designers to create ore and more sophisticated design in our millennium life.
