Architectural practice education and space utilization plan in the post-covid 19 era-in case of chungbuk national university department of architecture

Abstract

As COVID 19 spreads rapidly around the world in December 2019, social discussions are actively underway in architecture and urban fields to respond to a changed society, and educational facilities are responding to the spread of sensitivity through space use and movement control. In order to conservatively control infectious diseases, controlling the use of physical space was the most reliable method, but the strength and limitations of non-face-to-face classes began to become clear in architecture education due to physical restrictions for one year. For the efficient use of architectural educational spaces in the post-COVID 19 era, it is necessary to prepare a plan for use according to the social distancing stage. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the areas suitable for online space and the areas in which physical spaces should be used in architectural education, and then derive a plan that can effectively utilize the physical education space according to the social distancing stage. Interviews and surveys were conducted with 99 students and instructors in the Department of Architecture at Chungbuk National University, and through IPA analysis, it was intended to derive problems and utilization plans for architectural education after the COVID 19. As a result of the study, the problem of communication was one of the biggest problems in the practical education, and in the use of the practice space, the satisfaction of the process requiring physical space was the lowest. Therefore, the computer-related architectural practice education can be converted into an online space and used, and the existing computer room is divided into partitions to form a space dedicated to design class critique. In addition, three desk arrangement plans were suggested to respond to the spread of COVID 19 while focusing on communication through the rearrangement of the desks in the design room. This study is limited to the practice space of the Department of Architecture, Chungbuk National University, and the research is limited to students and instructors. It will be a study. © 2021 Architectural Institute of Korea.
