국내 종합병원 리모델링 사례 : 강북 삼성병원 Kangbuk Samsung Hospital = A Case Study on Hospital Remodeling in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Korea currently faces a new era of remodeling in hostpital architecture. The findings through this research are as follows:
1) The Korean general hospitals' construction volume has risen 210% since last 25 years. It was therefore suggested that a systematic responses against this high rate of volume must be provided for hospitals built in 1970's and 1980's. Impromptu responses disregarding overall functional recovery might be an interesting factor in remodeling.
2) In hospital extension and reconstructions, each methods must be set up according to the different characteristics of areas such as ward areas, outpatient areas, diagnosis/treatment areas, supply areas, administration areas, education/research areas, miscellaneous areas. According to department's characteristics, different remodeling strategy must be established.
3) The case of Kangbuk Samsung Hospital shows that most difficult departments for area correspondence are diagnosis/treatment areas and supply areas. The remodeling for other departments such as the ward areas, the outpatient areas, lobby areas, etc., the new definition of patients rather than area provision is considered to be more important. And new creative suggestions are required.
4) The hospitals' expansion cycle differs significantly from each other depending on the allowance area at erection time. In case of Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, area at the planning stage the allowance area was not enough planned at the planning stage. so, it caused the frequent department relocation and interior remodeling and resulted an increased remodeling time and cost.
5) The research suggests that it is ideal to expand the area in connection with the existing department. In case of Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, the expansion was made by the surrounding annex buildings around the existing buildings. The type of expansion minimally affects the construction process the natural light, and the easy provision of sufficient areas at the same time; however, it cases the problems of functional relocation due to the department change and the internal modification.
Korea hospital now enters the new era of remodeling from that of new construction. This is the architectural planning study to examine the changes and the problems associated with the Kangbuk Samsung Hospital after the construction and to provide the functional recovery of the hospital. It is suggested that the comprehensive hospital remodeling study in the aspects of structure, construction, HVAC, construction management is very urgent in the future.
