The winged knight monsters defending the dome’s roof gate had been removed.2 Instead, the nine fairy races now used this space to meet and negotiate, or as a venue for events. Only four players were facing the roughly 3,000 other players who had been gathered to this large, inconvenient meeting. The hulking Gnome Agil, Salamander samurai Klein, Cait Sith beast tamer Silica, and Leprechaun blacksmith Lisbeth — partners of the «Black Swordsman» Kirito, who was still diving in «Underworld», yet to awaken. At 4:20 a.m., when Klein and Lisbeth had been sending out in- game messages to every single friend on their lists, there were only three Lord-class players online. But, while pleading with them and their subordinate officers, they resorted to the taboo method of begging them to contact other players in real life. As a result, all of the players currently in the square had managed to assemble in just 40 minutes. In this sizable, hemispherical space, nearly 30% of the floating or standing players were using newly created accounts. 1 Kawahara made a typo and wrote “Seventh Day” instead.

On a sunny afternoon, the winding lanes of Seoul’s most famous district of hanok, or traditional wooden houses, are in danger of being overrun. Couples crowd tim- ber doorways festooned with fading calligraphy or gleaming brass, and tour groups line up to pose against the backdrop that has in- spired a million Instagram posts—a sea of delicately fared tile roofs cascading gently downhill toward the ofce towers of the city center. Indeed, Bukchon Hanok Village has grown so popular that the local government deploys marshals to remind noisy tourists that despite its toy-town appearance, this is a living, breathing residential area. For the inhabitants, the patterned stone walls that hide most of these lovely homes from view may not feel nearly high enough. Yet interest in hanok is a very recent phenomenon, among lo- cals and tourists alike. The art and proliferation of the Korean-style house reached an apex during the Joseon Dynasty from the 14th to 19th centuries, but the tumultuous years of Japanese occupation, fratricidal war, and rapid industrial development that followed were tough ones for old buildings, hanok included.

  • The 2001–2017 Façade Renovations of Jongno Roadside Commercial Buildings Built in the 1950S– 60S: Sustainability of Ordinary Architecture Within Regionality
    Article The 2001–2017 Façade Renovations of Jongno Roadside Commercial Buildings Built in the 1950s– 60s: Sustainability of Ordinary Architecture within Regionality Dai Whan An 1,* and Jae-Young LEE 2,* 1 Department of Architecture, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju 28644, Korea 2 Institute of Engineering Research, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] (D.W.A.); [email protected] (J.-Y.L.); Tel.: +82-4-3261-2434 (D.W.A.); +82-2-2123-8064 (J.-Y.L.) Received: 27 July 2018; Accepted: 5 September 2018; Published: 12 September 2018 Abstract: This paper examines 41 roadside commercial buildings of the Jongno region built in the 1950s–60s that received façade renovations between 2001 and 2017. The aim is to show the relations between the forms of renovation and the regionality of the commercial areas, which have been historically formed in the original city center of Seoul, as well as the relation of these connections to the sustainability of ordinary architecture. Because Jongno has been the city center for the 600 years following the Joseon dynasty, the region is still a center for politics, administration, economics, and culture. Specialized commercial areas exist in each region within Jongno, and each of these reflect their own regionality. Within such regionality, the roadside commercial buildings are adapting and changing to fit the times, and regionality is sustained through façade renovation of ordinary architecture. The façade renovations of roadside commercial buildings that reflect such regionality and sustainability do not involve redevelopment through overall demolition, which represents a loss of regionality and history and is conducted undemocratically; rather, the practice should be acknowledged for adding value as past heritage and the simultaneous incorporation of present and future values.

  • Daycare Center Shortage Problem in Seoul, Korea I. Background II
    GIS Project Daycare Center Shortage Problem in Seoul, Korea Inhee Lee 3141-4698-85 I. Background These days, daycare center shortage is a serious problem in Seoul, Korea. Seoul is a huge city whose population is over 10 million, but the number of daycare centers is not enough to satisfy the young parents who have kids of age 0 to 5. Some daycare centers are so popular that you should get on the waiting-list as soon as you give a birth to a baby. Recently, Seoul City announced that they will open 600 new public daycare centers within 2020 to reduce the shortage problem. The new daycare centers should be allocated effectively, considering the relevant factors such as the population of children by districts. In this project, each area’s level of demand for public daycare center will be analyzed. II. Gathering Data For this project, I collected data from different sources as shown in the Table 1.
