Although intramural rest places of campus building have direct influences on the activities of users, there have been little literatures or studies on them.
In addition, it is usual that the rest places on the campus have not been planned until the finished arrangement of major rooms, i.e. there has been lack of consideration about the planning of intramural rest places due to the higher priority of major room planning.
In regard of these points, this study addresses a set of new research and lecture buildings as designed recently on the campus, and looks through how the intramural rest places have been addressed in terms of campus planning. Furthermore, the study focuses on analyzing surveyed data to seek for the ways to enhance the efficiency of rest places on the campus.
For the resolution of questions, this study investigated the physical characteristics of intramural rest places by the consideration of analysis framework(Space Syntax Model), the conceptual and glossarial summary of rest places and the consideration of design drawing for case buildings(472 rest places around 24 buildings on 7 campuses) according to literatures.
Then, it classified intramural rest places into a few categories according to characteristics as described above. For the classified data, RA of each rest places was calculated in accordance with Space Syntax Model and the calculated RA values were analyzed. Through these courses, the study searched for the ways to enhance the spatial adjustability(integration, efficiency) of rest places.
As a result, this study could be concluded as follows :
First, as a result of analysis according to unit type of rest places, it was shown that they were mostly available as open type, followed by semi-open type and outdoor rest places.
Secondly, as a result of analysis based on classifying the shape of whole building into traffic lines and nodal points, it was found that the building with 3 or more traffic lines had lower availability than anything else, because it required more nodal points along a little higher complexity and zoning formed at increased nodal points between building masses.
Thirdly, as a result of analysis according to the location of rest places on traffic lines, it was found that hall type was most excellent in the level of availability.
Fourthly, as a result of analysis according to floor height, it was also found that hall-like open rest places and outdoor places like rooftop garden functioned as a factor to enhance the integration of different spaces.
Summing up, these conclusions will help the follow-up studies make spatial creation planning that may enhance the spatial efficiency and availability of intramural rest places on the campus.
