Description

Multipurpose Dome Residence

[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-purpose dome residence in which a number of buildings are connected like a castle wall and a deck is installed in the center to provide spaces for various purposes.

[0002] The commonly known apartment is a type of multi-family housing construction style, and is increasingly popular around the world, although its name varies slightly from country to country.

[0003] In particular, as of November 1, 2020, 10.78 million households in South Korea lived in apartments, accounting for 51.5% of all households. This is why the country is sometimes called the "Apartment Republic." While demand for apartments continues to grow for various reasons, government regulations and land shortages have led to a shortage of supply, driving up prices through the roof, exacerbating wealth inequality. Furthermore, the significant increase in jeonse (rental deposit) and monthly rent has increased housing costs for those without homes, posing a significant social problem.

[0004] Although the government has recently eased regulations and promoted apartment construction, the supply of apartments is reaching its limit due to land shortage.

[0005] The problem of apartment supply shortages appears to stem not only from regulations and land shortages, but also from technological and design innovations. While other sectors have rapidly advanced globally over the past 70 years, the housing sector has surprisingly lagged behind.

[0006] It is strange that over 70 years have passed since Le Corbusier (1887-1965), known as the 'father of modern architecture', announced the 'Five Points of Modern Architecture', which can be summarized as pilotis (open ground floors by erecting reinforced concrete columns), free facades, open floor plans, horizontal windows, and roof gardens, and presented the prototype of today's high-rise apartments by putting these principles into practice through projects such as the 'Plan Voisin' project (1925), a redevelopment plan for Paris, and the 'Unité d'Habitation' project (1947), a mass housing building for low-income people in Marseille, but there has been no significant innovation during that time. It has been 60 years since apartments were introduced in Korea as well, but no significant innovation has been seen.

[0007] Recently, a new lifestyle has emerged. Demand for Work, Live & Play, where people can work, live, and play in close proximity, is growing. At the same time, demand is also growing for large-scale indoor exercise and relaxation spaces that offer refuge from polluted air and strong UV rays.

[0008] Additionally, the need to install a station (vertiport) for UAM (Urban Air Mobility), which will become a universal means of transportation in the near future, is emerging.

[0009] Indeed, entering an apartment complex filled with dozens of independent, matchbox-like apartments can be suffocating. The apartments are densely packed together, leaving little room for anyone to feel free. Therefore, finding a commuter spot there would be a daunting prospect, and installing a UAM stop there would be a far-fetched undertaking.

[0010] Apartment complexes often house schools. While the apartments themselves have been rebuilt and modernized, the schools next to them remain, with their three- to five-story buildings and open-air playgrounds, becoming comparatively unsightly. In these places, students and faculty have long been exposed to cold, heat, and polluted air, and even the precious land is left neglected.

[0011] Prior art literature: Toward an Architecture by Le Corbusier, Jean-Louis Cohen, John Goodman, Oxford University Press, October 2007.
