지부티 SOS 어린이 마을의 건축특성 연구

Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze the architectural characteristics of the SOS children’s village in the Republic of Djibouti in Africa designed by Urko Sanchez. That is, the methods of composition of the village and its unit planes that have the territoriality of the African region, which is unfamiliar to us, were figured out. In addition, in particular, using space syntax, an analysis of the spatial characteristics of the Djibouti SOS children’s village was attempted paying attention to essential spaces rather than shapes. Method: To this end, various media and literature data were searched and drawings were secured through email exchanges with Urko Sanchez Architecture to investigate and analyze the data. Thereafter, VGA was derived through the space syntax program Depth map based on the outline and drawings of the SOS children’s village in the Republic of Djibouti to visually understand the spaces in the village and individual spatial structures were analyzed based on J-graphs. Result: Based on the results of analysis of the spatial structures and architectural characteristics of the SOS children’s village in the Republic of Djibouti, it could be seen that the children’s village was organized by reinterpreting diverse traditional architectural styles of Arabian countries and Africa such as asabiya, Medina, and Mochirabiye to fit modern times. In addition, solar energy and concrete from an African company were used and nature was considered such as planning self-sufficiency through plants while reducing costs. Therefore, the world of architecture unique to Urko, who maximally reflects and highly regards the tradition of the relevant region along with nature in architecture, could be seen.
