제주도 실증단지 홍보관 디자인 개발

(Background and Purpose)In Recent years, Smart Grid has become the most noticeable technology in terms of the enhancing energy efficiency while many nations are eager to explore new sustainable energy sources. Smart Grid is an intelligent power network that integrates IT with the existing power system to optimize energy efficiency through the interactive exchange of real-time information between the supplier and the consumer. The most remarkable plan in Korea’s Smart Grid project is the construction of a Smart Grid Test-bed in Jeju Island. As the 1st stage of the project, the Korean government selected Gujwa-eup, Jeju Island in 2011 as the location for Smart Grid Test-bed. The Test-bed ranked the world largest Smart Grid community that allows the testing of the most advanced Smart Grid technologies and R&D results, as well as the development of business models. At the present, the national project is proceeded to the 2nd stage expanding Test-bed to wide area coverages. Dedicated to deliver administrators' visions and project results in detail, Jeju Test-bed Exhibition Center will enlighten visitors recognized the not only advantages of Smart Grid, but also needs of R&D. (Method)The design proposal is not including architectural plans but focusing on content plans by analyzing the present Gujwa-eup environments and documentary data. The 1st design step is the analysis of existing conditions nearby surrounding the exhibition center and getting insights of separate technologies consisted in Smart Grid. The next step is the establishing design directions and the concept that makes exhibition space as an effective marketing medium and a cultural landmark attracting community consistently. The last step is presenting spatial program and schematic design that is leading visitors' circulation and assembling hands-on media in detail. (Result)The overall exhibition programs of the museum are divided in 3 parts. The 1st floor of the center 'Smart Grid, Changing the Global Village!' is dealing with changing earth, cities' energy and technology environment on a macro level. The 2nd floor 'Smart Grid, Changing the domestic environment!' is providing hands-on items that enable to understanding Smart Grid technical applications related with home networking services. the last, out door experiencing zone 'Smart Grid, Changing the transportation environment!' is delivering real traffic situation by which visitors would grasp the Smart Grid services benefits; driving and charging electric vehicles in person. (Conclusion)To lead visitors' active participation for experiencing contents, Jeju Test-bed Exhibition Center is designed by residential and traffic environment in that people and technologies are correlation. As a result, the exhibition contents excessively focused on the technical benefits and interactive media fabricated by digital technology worsen the crucial issue of initial needs of developing Smart Grid; the sustainability. the technological issue will be intensified in the 3rd stage exhibition center dealing with the eco-friendly operating system maintaining the museum and the ecology park operated by ecological energy resources.
