Gongju is an ancient Korean capital city of Baekje Emperor ( BC 18~ ad 660). The city has a lot of cultural heritages: old castles, an old village, an emperor tomb, Confucian temples and a museum having a lot of national treasures as well as great natural condition: well preserved green space and beautiful river. So, the number of tourists is almost 40 times than local residents. However, each attraction is isolated. The Gongju city government tried to renovate city infra structure for upgrading the value of city as a cultural historic center with spotlighting the Baekje Heritages.

Pedestrian Road Design New Masterplan suggests renovation of existing sidewalks and construction of new pedestrian roads connoting separated attractions. The existing sidewalk along Muryung Road was narrow and interrupted by cars at the intersections. By separating the sidewalk using trees and level difference, a new sidewalk serves comfortable conditions to pedestrians. Also, a new pedestrian road penetrating 4 main heritages makes tourists and local people possible to visit these attractions easier.
Paving Materials for the pedestrian roads and the sidewalks are designed from the color of attractions’ landscape images and the unique pattern of the Emperor Tomb. Pedestrians can see and experience attraction features in open space as well as access to attractions more easily. Considering four seasons of the site, various plants and trees are selected and planted along the pedestrian road.

Bench Design
Various urban development as well as increased population limits the space for rest. To relieve this issue, cutting off trees in wild area was inevitable for some artificial space. For the space, I cut off minimum number of trees and designed roads and benches. At the site of a tree cutoff, an Artificial Tree having roof can protect people from strong sunshine and rain will be constructed. This Artificial Tree will do photosynthesis too: generate electricity using solar radiation and this energy will be used in the night time for lighting.
The benches under the Artificial Tree are located in the range of shade during the day time as well as the range of lighting at night. The curved form of the benches allows people can choose to see each other or be separated when they sit on it. The height of the benches is from 25(cm) to 45(cm), comfortably accommodating both adults and children to sit.

Site Analysis
Survey and Analysis
Dashilar Hutong has a rich history or more than 1,200 years and is going through rapid changes in neighborhood. Most of buildings have values to preserve. However, because the population desity is much highger than other cities, even other area in Beijing and buildings are old, renovation in urban scale is inevitable. Overlayered Historic urban structure and GIS Analysis in various attributes consist the guide map for renovation planning and design.
Although a lot of residents are living in Dashilar area, there is no proper park or plaza for people’s community. Instead of public community space, local people are making space by growing various plants. Survey and statistic analysis is performed for finding the optimizing design components based on local people’s preferences. Analysis result form conjoint analysis show the most satisfying combinations of each category.

Concept
Strategy to Minimize
Minimizing is Maximizing.
Minimum Housing
As much as an Architecture occupying space, the space for nature is reduced. As much as we save space and energy, the possiblity of nature is increased.
MAXimum Nature
Case Study
01 minimum VOLUME
02 minimum COMSUMPTION
Tailoring / Optimizing
Natural Lighting / Shading
Optimized design to users on furniture and buildings can save the space and material to use. In this project, the user is myself - so I measured the height and width according to various positions, and apply it to design.
Filleting edges of buildings from a rectangle to a round saves a lot of heat loss by reducing exposed area. This building is designed to have two rounded edges and it saved 29% of heat loss and 18% of concrete used than edged designs.
Overlaying / Transforming
Energy Efficiency
We don't eat or work while we are sleeping. Also, we don't sleep while we are eating. By designing the furniture which can transform to a bed, a couch in various locations and a table which can be moved along sliding track, the space for dining, studying, greeting, sleeping can be combined.
Multi-layered windows to south and east for natural lighting & ventilation Making windows having two types of opening: sliding and binding, the house is almost enough to be lit only with natural sun in day time with maintaining high insulation level.
Korean Traditional House - Unhyungung A Room of Hanok is used for bedroom, dining room, study room, working space and sitting room with variation of small mobile furniture. The Korean traditional concept of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is that indoor space where various activities happen. The room is equipped only with basic furniture for storage and transformed by putting different furnitures according to the activities. For example, bed clothing is putted for sleeping, sitting cushion and small desk is putted for studying and different size of table is putted for dining or serving guest. Like this, a room is occupied only by minimum furnitures for storage and can be used for various purpose by transforming of variation of furnitures.

Problem of City
City Ecology
As dramatically fast developmet of China, especially, Beijing, the ground water level dropped 12.17(m) and tap water price soared 50 times in Beijing. Since Beijing relyes on ground water for water supply for 61 %, to construct water reuse system is necessary. Moreover, air pollution in Beijing is getting severer even though a lot of factories nearby closed for last decade. Beijing municipality eagers to find the solution for improving air condition, it is still catastropic level.
Human being is also one of component of city. As a components of city ecology, we people are in interdependent relationship with plant and space. In city environment, when all components are in harmony, the evironment also can be preserved. In other words, we have to affiliate with other components, if we want to survive in this ecology.

Black Water to Blue Water By introducing a Black water purifying system to public toilets in Hutong, the cleaned grey water can be used for watering existing green spaces and trees. Then, this water can be purified to blue water by being filtered green biotopes. Also the constructed pipe system can be used as structures for planting ivies. Public Toilet

Pipe Network System Public toilets in Hutong have its own capacity according to the size. The capacity of each toilet determines the service range according to the water volume needed to green spots. The system works like this. First, each toilet finds nearest green spot and connect the next nearest green spots. Second, when it finds the water level drops to the bottom, it stops growing. Based on building information of Dashilar Hutong area in Beijing, this pipe network system on site is tested by Processing Simulation program. Green spots - green agencies in Dashilar secur water supply system, expend and compose its network.

Lost Hutong
Virtualized Reality
Hutong is Beijing's traditional urban structure consisted with historical buildings; Seheyuans. Beijing's Hutong has a long history more than 1200 years. However, the acceleration of urban development of Beijing has destroyed the Hutong's life style and buildings. So it is getting much harder to appreciate the original hutong's context.
Collected materials are represented in digital world using database we recorded. Now, the abandoned materials can be played in virtualized reality. By writing few lines of code, all materials are assorted by length or width. Also various scenarios can be simulated based on relationship of each attributes such as they can attract each other based on the power of gravity using weight valuen maintaining their own boundary.
Hutong Mining With redevelopment of Hutong area, a lot of buildings have been demolished. So, a lot of materials also are discarded in this area. Our team collected materials in Hutong and recorded all the tracks and spots of collection.
Collected Memory In Hutong, there are still restaurants selling Beijing's traditional snack, Chu-ar-Skewered meat or vegetable. The stack of sticks which all the people threw away without intention represents a figure of star: a collection of various people's trace. Inspired from it, collected materials configurate star shape in virtual courtyard. After several simulations according to different features, like similar colour, type, size and original usage, the arrange of materials used to be used for same purposed are most stable to built. Finally, following the tag of virtual material and composition of strings, materials hang in the real courtyard.
