Integrated Link by Sun Young Kim

What causes the moment that intrigues, fascinates and arouses people’s curiosity into a space? When that space is an integrated link, it creates a first impression of a place that induces people to have interest and participate in their journey along the inside and outside of a building. Such strong connections between interior and exterior are rare in disused buildings, sitting on deteriorated streets and alleys. In recent years, redevelopment plans have been undertaken by many cities to reuse existing architectural resources, and in so doing produce accessible, economically beneficial and community-inclusive spaces. However, not many of these plans utilize both the building and the environment to generate a harmonious place that accentuates the beauty of the city, restores life experiences and brings back a “ sense of continuity of a place”[1] between the old buildings and the community. Though successful on many levels, these plans do not propose a fully integrated link within the urban fabric.
In Livable Cities Observed, the idea of a linked place is captured in the phrase, “For the city to meet its historic life-nurturing, humanizing and culture transmission functions, it must ‘permit and, indeed, encourage – the greatest possible number of meetings, encounters, challenges, between varied persons and groups…’”[2] This thesis will demonstrate how a disused industrial building can become a part of the circulation of neighbors’ everyday lives in the surrounding cityscape through an integrated link design. An integrated link varying in paths, surface materials, and vegetative treatment will be explored to bring about a better interior and exterior exchange of circulation and programs. Through this work, I attempt to restore the identity of the building within its surroundings. Moreover, the newly restored building and its surrounding will allow people to be together not only in functional capacities but also to bring joy and energy in the life of the city.
