Creating public, open space for everyone would be vital step for the improvement of urban landscape. Floral sculpture can lead the upgrade of urban life style and make citizen have various experiences by sociable, cultural activity naturally. Still, it shows us the beyond of harmonic mixture between artificial city and nature. A value of floral sculpture would be ever-increasing.
However, almost all of the floral sculptures were designed by alone architecture with subjective plan, sympathy between architecture and audience could not be realized well. Thus, I tried to find the possibility about the preference analysis of the objectified floral sculpture, for the improvement of floral sculpture to the public art.
This study carried out some research for the best plan pointing to the accomplishment of popularized sculpture art based on the analysis about the visual preference of floral sculptures that were set up in the urban outdoor space.
First, the reconfiguring of the floral sculpture like the way of using, special quality, significance at the present time could be understood through the theoretical approach and the field investigation.
Second, by the existing case study the degree of recognition and future possibility of floral sculpture could be classified.
Third, for the investigation of public recognition, environmental psychological approach was carried out and the results are followed.
1. According to the characteristic research, floral sculpture could be classified in three types-120 cases of urban floral sculptures showed us the planted place would be important-flower beds, containers and solid sculptures. It could help the grasping of idea; for the activating function with esthetic change of urban space.
2. Analysis of the floral sculpture installation at the present time
(1) Floral sculptures which were planted in the flower bed could be found at the 40 spots. A rectangle form which gave us stability was selected widely. Generally red color system was chose in the floral color for the aim of active, busy city. Like Safinia, Petunia and Impatiens, plants had fine texture with big bud were preferred.
Floral sculptures that were planted in the flower bed were mainly distributed in Gangbuk, because many public offices in the region constantly cared flower beds which were made in the former days.
(2) Planted in the container were found at the 55 spots. Many of them were orb shape. Like Begonia or Vinca, flowers had fine texture with little bud were preferred. Red color system was generally used for the purpose of warm and stable city. The light weight of material considered a strong point than others, so by the mobility containers were marked the most preferred type.
As a fashioned factor that was suitable in the nowadays stream, container would be demanded very well. So design development for the harmony with urban circumference, like color or shape, should be followed
(3) At the 25 spots, floral decorations in the solid sculpture were found, that led the highest visual preference with the three dimensions shape. The clear contrasts of color system between red and yellow were preferred and with solid sculpture, concrete forms were remarkably demanded.
In type of plants such as Safinia or Petunia that the petals had the possibility of making the big work as big one, or Begonia which helped the three-dimensional sculptures were presented softly, were plentifully selected. Floral sculptures with the three-dimensional molding which were preferred a lot could be discovered in Go-yang Si, which designed the floral industrial special sector
3. The analysis of the visual quality
(1) It attempted the quality analysis of the image of floral sculpture. The ‘natural’, ‘order’ and the ‘unification’ appeared statistically highly. The ‘clear’ and ‘beautiful’ appeared lowly in the other side. The floral sculpture helped the artificial city could be get the natural beauty and unification and it was highly evaluated that it gives harmonize. The values like ‘clear’ or ‘beautiful’ were lowly evaluated relatively. There were no constant checks so a fine view damaged as we recognized.
In the case made in the flower bed, there is an atmosphere which is stabilized, but that it was indicated the lack of constant checks, too.
The floral sculptures which were composed in the container were marked high evaluations especially ‘the unification’ and ‘the order’ which were included from quality of material. But lack of checks was indicated, too.
The floral sculptures which were designed in three-dimensional sculptures gave a clear feeling, but by the lack of concerns, their grades were cracked seriously.
(2) Factor research was executed for the quality analysis of floral sculpture, and the factors were extracted with 4 things.
The factor 1 is ‘the esthetic’. The floral sculptures have unique feature, the charm that is a growth which it follows in change of hour, the vital force overflows and it does to feel.
The factor 2 is ‘the order’. With the order which it comes to feel from completion degree together, there is a unification which comes from a variety.
The factor 3 is ‘the weight.’ The gender image which it comes to feel from the floral sculpture and the weight image that from the scale.
The factor 4 is ‘the neighborhood’. It would be consider seriously psychological image or stability.
With the fact that it records the factor score whose factor 3 is high result evenly most. The visual preference against the sculpture of solid and sense of stability and unity feeling were important. ‘The weight’ and ‘the neighborhood’ factor made in the flower bed and position sculpture at the time of rectangle one they were preferred, because the matter of familiar.
(3) The result which analyzes visual preference, it received the score where the work which is produced in no.23 Donga-ilbo-sa is high most. As the floral sculpture which is produced in the solid sculpture, it used environment ecological item. It added floral sculpture in the sculpture which expresses a story, as the human body composed by the soil. It was evaluated to successful work for the achievement of the sympathy with the users.
Most it cannot be preferred the sculpture of no.1 Guk-se-chung and it will be compared. Meaning of floral sculpture decreased, because the scale of solid sculpture was too big relatively. It showed that the harmony with the circumference landscape is important.
(4) I analyzed the relationship of visual preference and the image. The results of multiple regression analyses would be followed. The esthetic factor was higher than any other factors like the case I. It could be decided with the fact that the visual effect which was the rectangle shape gave a sense of stability. Even from the case II the esthetic factor appeared most highly with sameness, thus the case II it will be able to judge with result of the be active image which comes out from the container, ‘the neighborhood’ was highest factor from case III. It was well evaluated as the visual effect which was clear with ‘the order’ and ‘the unity’ which the solid sculpture gave it was a thing. Generally it would be able to think that the factor which gave the biggest effect to the floral sculpture was esthetic factor. I thought a topic for the improvement of floral sculpture, design development to increase the esthetic degree was essential.
(5) I was analyzed the visual harmony between surrounding space and floral sculpture. Both no.24 Su-cho-sari-won and no.21 KINTEX road crossing were marked well in the color harmony evaluation. Both of them had a feature that the clear and harmonious color. Green and red color system brought the stability and active feeling, which were well matched with surrounding.
In the field of material, no.21 KINTEX and no.23 Donga-ilbo-sa were highly evaluated. Plant selections were excellent, appropriate and balanced quantities was remarkable.
No.21 KINTEX road crossings and no.23 Donga-ilbo-sa works were highly evaluated in the scale field. With circumference environment it matched well, and it accomplished the role of the land-mark.
No.21 KINTEX road crossing and no.23 Donga-ilbo-sa which were produced in solid sculpture were remarkably evaluated in the shape field. It was expressed concretely for the clearness with mixed cylinder and orb style shape.
Production of multi dimension it led from field of Position and it held it was consistent and from which position and the position work no.21 KINTEX road crossing and no.24 Su-cho-sari-won were highly evaluated.
The work most which attains a high visual harmony was the floral sculpture which is produced in solid sculpture of case III. These works also selected even from the color, material, scale, shape and position and when seeing the fact that, that the hazard which raises a completion degree the artificial flower which is the balance which stands is necessary it will be able to analyze.
It could be able to analyze that for the improvement of completion degree, like those works selected from the color, material, scale, shape and position, balanced harmony was demanded.
(6) In the broad view, multiple regression analysis for the floral sculpture research in the urban space, ‘the position’ factor was the most important factor, especially in the matter of visual preference. It was meant the importance of surrounding, thus harmony with circumstance directly linked to the quality of works.
In the case I, color harmony was in first interest. Display by flower bed was led by the color of buds, and the eye of audience was, too. It could be thought that the power of color had ultimate leading power to the audience.
Like a broad view, the position was prominent in the case II. Floral sculptures that were composed in the container had good mobility, so it could be analyzed that the harmony with surrounding was more emphasized.
The position factor was emphasized in case III, too. It would be able to analyze with the fact that the relationship with circumference environment role decisively in completion degree of the work the floral sculpture which it produces in solid sculpture.
For the achievement of sculpture which it tried to observe from above, the production that making balanced city space was necessary. But it could be able to guess from research result, the users demanded the dramatic production expected from the solid sculpture. This result could be understood that the users wished the more active life.
In the outdoor space, the floral sculpture’s role is not only the indicator but also one of the public arts that made beautiful city. Also it was considered that not the least things should be reformed.
It should be discussed the topic for the improvement of floral sculpture, especially using container; differentiate the shape and color of container. I recognized the necessity of our native plants for planting in the outdoor space, too. Subjects like those things should be studied and following research must be followed.
From now on, I expected that this analysis result of research could be used in the steps of planning and production, for the successful achievement of more beautiful city, by grasping of users idea.
