Background of Research

FARC 4

- Increase of economic income level : people want to live and enjoy leisure ac-tivities near or on the water

- Climate change : there have been severe and frequent natural disasters like heavy rain, hurricane and flooding

- Diverse floating architecture can be an emerging and realizable alternative.

General Aspect

Regional Aspect

- Location of Kunsan : Plenty of water like Sea, River and Lakes- National Project : Saemangeum land reclamation project- Others : Old Kunsan Islands Tourist Project

Concept of Floating Architecture

Floating architecture can be defined as a building for living/working space

that floats on water with floatation system, is moored in a permanent lo-

cation, does not include a water craft designed or intended for navigation,

and has a premises service(electricity, water/sewage, gas) system served

through connection by permanent supply/return system
