Cheongnyangni station, one of the oldest train stations in Korea, has undergone dynamic transformation beginning from the Japanese colonial period, to the post-war period, and finally through modern times. Although the physical form has significantly changed through its history, it always has served as a public facility. Nonetheless, Cheongnyangni station always had symbolic characteristics and hidden purpose beyond the station itself. Its symbolic metaphor can be understood as exerting authority during the Japanese colonial period, as a showcase of US hegemony in the post-war period, and as a tool of urban development in modern times. In a word, various socio-cultural aspects, such as symbolic characteristics or hidden purpose have been effected on architectural change, including form, material and program rather then optimizing convenience of user group. Since the 10 years during which the train station as a building type was used as a tool of urban development, Seoul Metropolitan government continues to propose numerous train stations in the form of transit centers to tackle over-crowded urban problems related to mobility. At this moment, a sophisticated approach is required to develop a new type of train station in terms of socio-cultural aspects. By tracing back to the historical change of the train station with socio-cultural background, this research can be a foundation for future train stations that are, actively linked with society, culture, and context through the integrated pedestrian networks, bus transportation systems, and interfaces with automobiles. |
