Project 2 - extra credit 2023079825 kimseoeun

 5/10 – public observation- What did you do? What did you learn? Was it fun?

I observed the starfield library. We divided into 5 areas and visitor types.

In this project, I could learn a lot type of people. For example I lived in suwon so I can’t see a lot of foreigners. 96% of passengers are Korean, 2% of passengers are Chinese. However, when I observed the starfield library, I could see a lot of foreigners. I think it’s a big chance to analyze foreigners in korea because it wasn’t located in seoul. The most interesting thing that I learned in this project was whyte’s theory don’t have big changes in the year 2024.

It was fun because it is not common library.( only two libraries in the world.)

And it was not built by government, it was built by shinsege group, directly connected to profits. So it was very interesting for me to analyze this library like why they constructed this? What was their expectation effectiveness?

Additionally, it was fun because starfield library was plural place, so we don’t have answers. (Different observation result with other public spaces) It’s not that easy to analyze because there are too many types of visitors, other areas…etc.

Also, It was perfect place to observe people. I think it’s a proper place to a apply whyte’s theory. In front of that, we can analyze the big shopping mall’s effect to street. To explain specifically, starfield library was constructed in 2024, and it was free opened to everyone. So it was very meaningful observation report that reflected the newest trend and fashion-conscious visitors.

week 2 classroom questions

w.2 1. I think the team is that everyone has a different division of labor, not only the individual work results, but also the team's results.Everyone in a team has complementary skills to solve problems together to achieve common goals. It's like a family party where the mother will be responsible for shopping, the sister will be responsible for cooking, and the brother will be responsible for setting up the scene. 2. Why do Koreans prefer black clothes?First, I think black clothes are more resistant to dirt than other colors.Second, black is a classic and colorful color, do not choose the body, do not choose the skin color, suitable for various occasions.Third, black clothes can show simplicity and luxury, and can show different styles with various clothing styles, especially black coats and down jackets, which can not only blend into the winter atmosphere of Korea, but also reveal luxury and urbanity in simplicity.
