As hospitals change continuously and rapidly, the way of growth and change becomes another important factor in the design of a hospital. The hospitals are adapted for the continuous growth and change during their life span. But the hospitals built in 1970's and 80's have been expanded and reconstructed without any plan of growth and change. So, there is required to the architectural planning on the remodeling and modernization strategy of general hospitals. The purpose of this study is to provide the fundamental data for the reasonable design planning and the basic principles of the construction plan in the hospital remodeling. Thus, this study is to investigate and analyze the characteristics of hospital remodeling, the remodeling planning, and the scheduling process in terms of construction. As a result, this study would apply to design guideline for the remodeling of general hospitals.

The present time this country is faced with general hospital building remodeling time from the constructing age. In architecture, one of the reconstruction of consciousness, remodeling significance Is restoration of capacity a generally structure. Through this research we acquire concluding remarks. 1) In hospital extension and reconstruction works set a different counterplot proportionately with part that are the ward areas, the outpatient areas, the diagnosis/treatment areas, the supply areas, the administration areas, the education/research areas, the miscellaneous areas etc. According to department's character and use various purposes take proper measures. Then it estimation that remodeling study shall be need. 2) It is advisable the way of connection the existing facilities if it extended case. The case of K hospital has been extended outskirts the main building. As this an enlargement of a outhouse has an advantage that secure construction area at a stretch and no exert Influence on both nature lighting and construction matter. On the contrary caused [defect that is repeatedly occur a faculty relocation and the inner part alteration because of it\`s post transfer.

This study is an analysis of the characteristics between the remodeling of an existing hospital and the remodeling of an existing hospital with the addition of a new annex. The comparison of the two remodeling methods focused on the difference of gross area, circulation system, improvement of hospital function, profitability of remodeling construction, and so on. The result of this study can be summed up as follows. The remodeling of an existing hospital with a new annex has the merit of enlarging new areas, promoting the function of the hospital, changing the inner circulation system, and facilitating the construction. However, it has the demerit of requiring too much money and expanded space for the construction. Therefore, it is possible to use the existing hospital remodeling method for small scale hospitals that do not have many patients, but it would be necessary for big scale hospitals with many patients to adopt the method of remodeling the existing hospital with the addition of an annex.

Purpose: This study is a case study of a small-mid sized hospital to promote a full-scale remodeling to ensure the quality and competitiveness of the medical services and trying to arrange the remodeling characteristics of small-mid sized hospital which is suffering from aging facilities as well as chronic congestion and lack of spaces. Methods: Research was conducted by consultation with hospital executives and each department operators, and on-site investigation, Results: The result of this study can be summarized into two points. The first one is that existing statistical value like area per bed, in the remodeling of the small-mid hospitals may not mean much. planners have to verify the necessary room space areas in close consultation with the department operators. And after confirming layout possibilities, they have to create the program. The second one is that remodeling planning can be a realistic plan with structural and installation diagnosis at the same time. If so, it is advisable to proceed architectural design from the beginning for cost and time savings. Implications: This results can be applied to small-mid hospitals to apply to the medical law revision and others.

The purpose of this study is a presentation of long term strategies for hereafter hospital's remodeling and new constructions with grabbing in the characters of various spaces and ways of remodeling on wards which have been remodeled according to periods(the opening, before remodeling, after remodeling, new construction). The targets are three remodeled hospitals and four resent hospitals. And also the hospitals are divided as beds, additional hospital facilities, day room, doctor's and staff dining room, public space(corridor, core, duct) etc. The analEis of this study explains changes of wards through the characters expressed by remodeling on the specific functions (beds, additional hospital facilities, day room, doctor's and staff dining room, public space etc.) Following the research, the study has kept going to understanding of problems and limitations of improvement on remodeling wards. Finally, this researcher looked for suggestions on the planning of wards.

The hospitals built In the seventies and eighties have gone through many different extensions and renovations. However, as there had been no prior projections of the future extensions, irrational processes in terms of interdepartmental functional relocations and space availability have recurred. As well, areas and departments are located in several wings, which bring about a decrease in interdepartmental functional linkage, causing a lot of confusion and trouble in hospital management. Through this research we acquire concluding remarks. 1) To restore functional linkage in the whole hospital, strategy of interdepartmental relocation with the clinic-in-the clinic concept is the measure to minimize the problems of the increase in interdepartmental functional linkage since the clinic-in-the clinic concepts minimize circulation and maximizes efficiency of hospital management by making all the dispersed wings as professional as possible. 2) The measure of smooth circulation in order to resolve the problems of patients' difficulty in identifying directions and in decrease in staff's work performance, which arises from the extensions without considering the traffic systems of the whole hospital involves introduction of linear circulation systems in which connections between departments or areas can be made centering main axes of circulation. It is also a responsive measure to enhance the functional linkage between buildings and efficiency of patient's ease in identification of directions.

The construction can proceed in different ways according to the acquired profitability of the hospital during the construction and to the features of departments or areas. This study is an analysis of remodeling construction processes to resolve major tasks of remodeling. The remodeling strategies gained from this study can be summed up as follows: 1) Remodeling work in hospitals involves the acquire relocation of space through extensive area renovations and then moving back to the space, and lastly working on the empty space. Thus, it is more advantageous in terms of construction work to demolish the existing buildings than to acquire the relocation space through extensions or renovations. That is, demolition after the maximum utilization of the existing buildings is the most desirable in terms of space availability. 2) The construction methods for remodeling are two: a method of carrying out construction by dividing the plane areas into several individual ones and of working on it floor by floor. In case of ward areas, and the outpatient area, the construction proceeds after securing the relocation space and partially setting construction areas in order to minimize the decrease in profitability due to the smaller number of beds and treatment rooms during construction. If the outpatient diagnosis/ treatment area and the supply area relocate together with the ward areas, there may be extra expenses. Thus, doing construction by area, while partially operating those areas or after relocating the whole areas.

Space transformation of hospital architecture happens more rapidly than other types such as school and office buildings. This requirement is caused by medical demand, service transformation, technical development and equipment changes. Grand scale extension and rapid change in hospital architecture affects whole planning; therefore, it is important to design in the macro perspective such like Life Cycle. Grand scale extension is difficult process to rebuild growth and transfer of hospital architecture and to adapt to the future change. That's why simple planning gives limits to some departments in a short-term and brings another reform such as more extension or interior renovation in a long-term. This study surveys various space transformation and grand scale extension of EB hospital extended recently, and it is to find planning condition in extension.
