Abstract

Office buildings have contributed to improving the publicity of urban spaces. In particular, the lobby of office building is not just a transfer space, but a public space that accommodates various functions of a complex building. The purpose of this study is to analize the publicity characteristics of lobby in office buildings, and to provide basic data on the planning elements of lobby in office buildings. As a research method, previous studies on the concept of office lobby publicity were analyzed and field investigation methods for six office buildings in Seoul were conducted. The research result are as follows. First, the lobby of office buildings is a public space with open spaces and various convenience facilities, but it shows the limitation of publicity in that the time to use the lobby is limited. Therefore, public spaces such as libraries and exhibition halls extend their opening hours, facilitating access for more people. Second, it is generally easy to enter from various directions, but in some cases, direct access to boulevard and streets is insufficient. When accessibility is relatively low, canopy or pilotis are configured at the entrance to increase cognition. Third, the lighting flowing into the indoor spaces as a whole is good, but it does not provide lively nature. In order to increase the comfort through the nature of the space without visual blocking, it is possible to feel nature indirectly through natural finishes, colors, and shapes. Fourth, it is necessary to improve the movement path more efficiently as it is judged that the direction finding element is insufficient in half of the case sites. To this end, the flow of the movement path is made natural by indirectly inducing the movement path such as the structure of the space, finishing materials, furniture, lighting, etc., or by placing kiosks and signage.
