Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of place, the architectural extension of place and its cognition methods. Placeness are generated from topography and historical culture. If some cities keep neglecting their context, the placeness is not formed and architecture is degenerated as an objets. Therefore the paper reinterpret and classify into places and how they works in the city. Places are classified according to recognition methods as topos, locus and topos locus. Again classified as form, figure and form figure, place classification is as follow: topos place with form, topos place with figure, topos place with form figure, locus place with form, locus place with figure, locus place with form figure. The debates about place have started since ancient time, scholars have tried to define the meaning of place. But their definitions are so plane that architecture can't use the definition. The paper add the concept of form and figure to extend concept of place as three dimensions. Topos is organic system with surrounding environment and locus is about object as incident and act. Form means configuration that is held to have natural meaning and figure means a configuration whose meaning is given by culture. The architecturally extensive concept of types of place is applied to Haeundae-gu U 1-dong in order to analyze and classify the quality of it.
