This study is based on user's awareness of space in regard to "medical welfare facilities" among local facilities. It researches "systemization on lobby space" in a hospital construction which has gigantic and comprehensive systematic character. It grasped and explored users' awareness to the lobby space, which can be applied to architectural plan data for the designing of future hospital construction. The research has been made by conducting 16 general hospitals loctaed in 6 administrative regions in Gwangjoo Metropolitan City.
Regardless of civilization or culture, a vital point is the problem to cure human diseases accompanied to human life, and to prevent them. Distinctly from hospital facilities, have demanded diverse things from the users, the countermeasures of which vary as well, and will continue to change for the years to come.
Under this backdrop, this study starts with presumption that in the function and scale of new setting or space according to "kind of "service institutionalization", they will be substituted to other phase. The concept of conventional facilities has had difficulty coping with the furnishing of spatial environment, medical team, advanced treating machine whose quality level is required to be advanced beyond the dimension of simple acceptance, treatment, prevention.
Constant research has been done in many fields at hospital construction, and progress has been made repeatedly in line with the current request. In addition, "a hospital is referred to as art", and hospital construction as the facility as hospital quality or growth meaning" is considered as different from other area.
This study is aimed at investigating spatial nature to the lobby space of a large city general hospital, and trying its systemization. Targeting for looking into and typifying the space itself, and finding out new conceptual establishment of the lobby space and the architectural spatial nature of the lobby through positive facts to some factors the spatial systemization attempted to explore the awareness ingrained in the users(doctors, managers, employees and patients).
For this, following contents were set, on which the study was proceeded.
1) Research into consciousness what aspects the forms and phases of lobby are revealed in design,
2) How much plane scale ratio of lobby space is,
3) What aspects the typifying of plane form can be possible,
4) What factors are to livelihood functionality,
5) What the stay time at lobby is like,
6) What aspect of ratios of sentimental engineering awareness(ope nness, closedness, depth, height, width and space sense)are,
7) To what type the type of lobby space will be referred.
As a result, hospital construction could materialize the spatial concept in construction planning, through which we could find it as the space to complexly accept the factors of colorful forms, and elicit the unit spatial scale in programming, and quantify the spatial volume sense with the consciousness inherited in sentimental engineering factor.
