Understanding and Implementation of the Digital Design Modules for HANOK

Abstract

This paper focuses on an easy and efficient design method to draw Korean style houses. The goal is achieved by template-based elementary components for architectural design. In Korean style construction, the building is formed in the process of stacking and jointing the wooden components according to their binding rules. There are many joint rules between the components. It makes complicates the digital design of a Korean style building. This paper proposes a method to draw an oriental wooden house easily using the prefabricated template-based component representation on a BIM(Building Information Modeling) tool. From the proposed method, the components can be transformed and reused for blending them with modern architectural components to make a creative and practical space in our life. Moreover, the proposed method is implemented on a BIM tool, it has a role for error detector and information provider to the user during and after the design process.
