| Abstract |
A Program always has been the element of architecture, which has advented since 18C. And it has been changed simultaneously with the alteration of architecture. In modern architecture, the functionalism handles with a program as rational and functional side of architecture. When a social change progresses and gets complex, a program of architecture also gets complex. A new interpretation about program appeared in response to the functionalism, in which the form and the configuration of a building was decided with its use. One building denoted singular program, but now it includes diverse programs. The program itself shows not only with the function of a building but also with social sense. As a result, the form and the configuration of a space is closely related to a program. This paper considers alterations of program accompanied by social changes and finds out the relationship between new programs and space configurations. And also, we are trying to use space syntax which is a quantitative method to analyze physical space configurations. New York PRADA, designed by Rem Koolhaas, coexists with two programs such as commerce and culture, and shows the relationship between a contemporary society and a new program. Searching for the relationship of space configuration and program, we find out the alteration of space configuration in the contemporary society. In the future, this could develop a comparative study of space configuration in modernism buildings which are used with the same purpose. Also space analysis based on the scientific theory will be a foundation in understanding various complex spaces. |
