Nowadays, universities have come out to our general education facility, overcoming past`s education for a few elite class.
In the process of industrialization era after Korean War, with an expansion of capacity of the facilities, universities faces new aspect that the capacity exceeds the student`s supply.
University plays a role of educator of the studies for human society, and has to expand the function of cooperative research activities, lifelong education, and local center with its original duty.
Kyung-Hee Univ. International Campus, as a second campus, was constructed in the outskirt of the Suwon City. And the situation what the campus stood alone in the initiative construction era has been changing that it faces the city itself
In this study, I would focus to diversify university`s original function and to narrow the gap between the campus and local society through Kyung-Hee University International campus border configuration plan.
And with this, I would find the way guaranteeing the enough spaces can satisfy the various educational needs and the efficient method of the campus`s spaces as the facilities that is going to share with local citizens.
So I studied as the following process.
First, I studied the formation and transition process of university. The meaning and function what the university has, is different from each period, and it has changed the function following itself, so I studied the historical formation process and urban context, and next I studied its architectural form transition. The universities that started as the ‘guild form’ before Renaissance era were on the basis of cities, but had not enough architectural form and its receivers were so poor, too. After Renaissance era, it had been in the city after the recognition that university had an important connection with the city's benefits, also educational studies was executed with deep connection with daily life. The improvement of natural science connected to the university's gigantism and the university had played a role of campus and it's district.
Second, after recognizing recent university`s feature and studying its examples I would put them to the base of this plan. Among nowadays university, they have been diversified the function with connection with companies, local society contribution program, and the door opening of university`s resources of life and properties.
Third, after examining the growth process of each university and the efforts for connection with local society, I studied the possibility with Kyung-Hee Univ. In domestic examples, choosing the universities in Seoul, and in international examples, chose Enric Miralles`s ‘Venice School of Architecture’, OMA`s ‘The McCormick Tribune Campus Center at IIT’.
Fourth, In the basis of the examples before, I recommended the plan on the site around the main gate. And before the zoning plan recommended, I thought that the border development must proceed them, so I planned so that it can be used in combination with what R&D Cluster needs.
The more it clear the border when different thingsmeet each other, they isolated from each other. Universities have been changed by social needs. When we recognize the difference and when we share what I have, the border will collapse and by putting together what we had each it will make a synergy. In this study, by Campus border plan the universities open their resources, located in the middle of local society I tried to promote the chemical synergy between the university and its local society.
