The idea I set my thesis upon was to develop a methodology for the visually impaired to perceive an environment through their other senses. Since the Blind perceive spatial relationships by combined association of their other senses, it was essential to create a setting where their senses can be amplified. Thus this garden was designed to accommodate two or more of blind person's senses at once to provide more of '3-D' spatial relationship. The main goals of this thesis are, first, to create a place where the Blind can enjoy and nurture their own specific interests. Second, to reveal the nature in its allowing individual analysis and interpretation of a garden. Third, to move away from the prejudice of gardens for the Blind being made of only touching and smelling. To achieve these goals, the most important task was to establish a sense of space. In order to do so, five principles were used; Perspective, Enclosure, Light/Shade, Form, and Environment. After all, the garden for the Blind does not proclaim its purpose in loud terms nor in obvious manner. It should attempt to provide joy, serenity, and activity; a freedom to choose, recognize and analyze nuances of garden, the rhythm of enclosure and openness to experience variety, also to delight in subtle changes and to just imagine.

Wang -gok Villages was forming the space marking the centripetal system from frame composed of adjacent mountains and the cosy and comfortable space perccplively and psychologically, and both the openness and closeness existed together The analysis of the circulation structure in the exterior spaces of home showed that generally one must pass through kitchen to approach to the rear yard having the strong decree of enclosure and privacy. The determinants of the space organization in Wang-gok villages and the exterior of its homes were direction and gradient as natural factor, and traditional thought, action and social class as sococultural factors. The configuration of rear garden was classified into flat type, terrace type and mixed type of natural hill and terrace. The rear garden was created purposely and actively, emphasizing the harmony with and approach to nature.

This study investigated residents' preferences for spatial features of sitting areas in assisted living facilities, and provides recommendations for planning sitting areas to support residents' spatial preferences and social interaction. The study participants were 69 residents of eight assisted living facilities (30+ resident capacity), located in south central Texas. A photographic comparison method was used, in which residents were shown 20 matched pairs of photos, with a single feature digitally modified in each pair, and asked to select which environmental representation they preferred. The hypothesized spatial characteristics were identified in practice based literature as those that may encourage usage of sitting areas: viewability, variety, homelikeness, and privacy. Most of the hypothesized features were preferred by participants, with the highest preference found for non-institutional furniture arrangements and naturalness, followed by increasing enclosure and variety of seating. Preference was less significant for domestic cues such as carpeted floors, divided light windows, and boundaries defined by different colored material or columns, possibly due to their physical impairments or preference for visual openness. Participants' level of mobility assistance was significantly related to their preference for some features, such as seating with people-watching capability, and carpeted floors. The findings have implications for facility architects and administrators engaged in resident-oriented spatial planning.

The aim of this study is to elucidate the meaning of "less is more" by examining the design process of the Farnsworth House and its spatial composition. In order to find out what constitutes "less" and "more", Mies' sketches and drawings were reviewed, and the vision of the architect and the owner, and the responses from the critics were studied. As a matter of fact, these seemingly contradictory concepts the "less" and the "more" are relative terms that complement each other. The concept of "less" describes an enclosure of space, fixed, inflexible and invariable space that leaves no room for change. On the other hand, the term "more" represents an openness of space, free, flexible, and variable space. Mies tried to minimize "less" element when designing the interior of the Farnsworth House, and he did so by eliminating columns and walls. On the contrary, by using only fixed core, he created a "more" space, where the effects of flexible and open qualities are maximized. However, duality and contradiction rising from glass external wall and portico in the Farnsworth House raise a critical issue in this "less is more" discourse. The role of these parts of the house is rather contradictory, and the glass wall and the portico hold both "less" and "more" elements. Unlike its relatively simple composition of space, the Farnsworth House encompasses many complex and contradictory ideas that leave room for wide scope of exploration and various interpretations.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the cross-sectional ratio of the courtyard, an external space that not only was used as a workplace, shelter, and playground in our lives, but also gave symbolic meaning to Koreans. Since the beginning of 2000, Hanok began to receive rapid attention from people, and Hanok construction and remodeling were actively carried out in urban and rural areas. In particular, Bukchon and Seochon in Seoul, around Cheonmachong in Gyeongju, and Hanok Village in Jeonju became popular places related to hanok, and Gyeongju, Buyeo, Gongju, and Iksan were designated as ancient districts to encourage the construction of hanok. However, although hanok is being built with national trends, support, and interest, attention is focused only on the external form, materials, and convenience of use, and the composition and system of the external space have not been properly reviewed. Therefore, this study aims to understand the functions and meanings of the yard in traditional housing, and to analyze the proportion of the height of the building surrounding the yard and the depth of the yard in terms of closure and opening. In addition, the system and characteristics of the external space of traditional architecture felt by this can be used as basic data in designing traditional architecture.

본 연구는 인간 활동을 담는 형식과 의미의 총체라 할 수 있는 서원, 그 중에서도 경상남도 함양의 남계서원을 대상으로 공간 및 시각구성상에 내재된 형식미와 의미 파악을 통해 서원 조영에 담겨진 경관짜임 원리를 풀이하고 현대 유사 전통적 공간의 경관설계 시 적용하기 위한 착안점을 구하기 위해 시도되었다. 남계서원은 생성과 풍요를 거쳐 초월과 회귀로 이어지는 비산비야(非山非野)의 풍수적 명처[연화부수형]에 생거사유(生居死幽) 형국에서부터 치(置)와 화(和)를 이루고 있다. 그리고 사당-내삼문-강당-동서재-외삼문으로 이어지는 위계는 일상제-삼신-오제로 연결되는 삼신오제사상의 투영이자 주자가례에 의한 예제적 틀을 준용한 비례부동(非禮不動)의 의미 넣기 기법이다. 또한 남계서원의 환경설계에는 산수의 물질적 대립 항 그리고 전후(前後), 종횡(縱橫), 동정(動靜)이라는 방향과 운동의 이진부호적 복합체계를 개입시켜, 경직된 축선을 고집하지 않으면서도 자연지형에 밀착된 건물과 마당의 공간 및 시각구성상의 비대칭 균형원칙을 추구하여 '치와 화'의 교집합 공간을 구축하였다. 한편, 건물 이름 짓기는 학문수양과 관련하여 성리학적 가르침과 풍수사신사(風水四神砂) 구조와 연계시켜 이루어짐으로서 기능과 의미를 일체화시킨 치와 화의 경관 놓기와 경관 맞추기가 드러나고 있다. 또한, 건물과 마당의 폐쇄감으로 볼 때 강학(講學) 및 유상(遊賞)공간 그리고 제향공간은 그 공간성격에 따라 개방감과 위요감, 긴장감과 안도감, 상승감과 위계감이 적절히 부여되는 등 청각적으로 의사 전달이 가능한 인간적 척도 개념이 반영되고 있다. 남계서원의 초기 건립과 이후의 변모과정에서 드러난 자연과 유연하게 이어지는 기능, 완결을 지향하는 비완결의 열림 그리고 긴장과 이완이 반복되는 동세적 아름다움을 구현하기 위한 치(置-놓기)와 자연과 일체감을 갖는 질서와 연속, 기념성과 일상성의 공유 등을 구현하기 위한 화(和-맞추기)의 경관짜임 의도는 오늘날 토지이용계획은 물론 캠퍼스 환경설계 분야에 시사하는 바가 크다.
