친수형 방파제 디자인에 관한 연구

(Background and Purpose) When developing and opening new harbors or repairing existing ones on a large scale, breakwaters should be expressed in aesthetics and identity so that they match local characteristics and landscapes and create an open space affording various opportunities for contact with the marine ecology environment and a variety of views and viewing spaces to enjoy scenery harmonized with the sea. A waterfront breakwater should be designed with the place character of an attractive marine sightseeing spot. This study aims to establish a design method for waterfront breakwater to become a place for the revitalization of a new area. This design method can be used to improve the living environment of area fishermen and port and harbor officials by utilizing the potential of fishing ports and harbors to harmonize with marine ecology and the surrounding natural environment. It also provides opportunities for those who wish to participate in and share the characteristics of the place as a marine tourism resource. (Method) The range for research is limited to waterfront breakwaters. We identified the differences and characteristics between general breakwater and waterfront breakwater, and through theoretical analysis, a design method was formulated. We then applied the method to a case study to express the identity of a waterfront breakwater through its unique scenery and the creation of an attractive use environment. (Results) It was found that the design of the waterfront breakwater can be a means to add the breakwater to the local value of leisure space and marine tourism as well as its practical economic value for local revitalization. To create a design for a waterfront breakwater, it is necessary to fashion a landscape and identity by correlating with the target site and to create a motive for participating in the place by realizing a hydrophile space with non-everydayness visual and experiential experiences for differentiated place recognition. (Conclusions) The design of the waterfront breakwater should be the reference point for the characteristics of the target area in adjusting to the degree of development. This is because it is a method of solving the problem of introducing excessive hydrophilic space and the introduction of facilities for the purpose of securing place attractiveness. The method can clarify identity by utilizing the unique resources of the region. In addition, a plan for differentiated visual and user experience should be able to highlight place value and utility value of development through physical configuration and strategic thinking, with non-everydayness based on everyday events and perception environment.
