An Evaluation of the Mixed Remodeling Image of Modern Architecture and Hanok

Abstract

Modern architecture can be a uniform structure or heterogeneous object in a historical environment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the preference of hybrid architecture by defining it as a hybrid hanok considering its modern function and the emotional aspects of traditional architecture. The test target was a street with seven modern commercial buildings (STA, formerly) and was modeled as a hybrid architecture (STA-RF, later) with hanok elements in modern buildings for preference evaluation. The experimental model (Before, After) was evaluated in six categories, including traditionality, diversity, creativity, familiarity, traditional landscape of historical cities, and creative utility of modern architecture, and the data collected on a five-point scale was analyzed by SPSS pc. According to the experiment results, 1) Traditional Expression (86.0%), 2) Diversity of Design Elements (86.7%), 3) Creativity (81.6%), 4) Familiarity Recognition (67.2%), 5) Possibility of Traditional Landscape (82.5%), 6), and Creative Design of Modern Architecture and Hanok (84.6%) all had positive perceptions. Therefore, the present study confirmed that hybrid hanok (or hybrid style architecture) that combines elements of modern architecture and hanok in historical environment can be used as very friendly buildings with various potentials compared to modern architecture.
