| Abstract |
This study analyses spatial effect and construction method created by the modeling method using observer's illusion in the exterior-envelope of contemporary architecture, which is used as an ornament combined with reasonable structure system. Kazuyo Sejima's experiment contributes to make another space based on observer's imagination by blurring the border between the subject and virtual image through moire phenomenon or montage technique, which is superior to the early experiment transforming the condition of exterior-envelope by superimposition.
Though spatial experiment through the illusion may seem to be abstract from the stereotypical viewpoint, actually it is not abstract at all. The new relationship between sense and reading is finally connected to new spatial sense via the observer's perceptive transmission. Analysis of constructionmethod has shown that illusion method to strengthen the expression of exterior-envelope in architecture is made up of the further reinforcement in the composition of planar landscape and sense of depth without the distinguishable layers by the details such as omitting the mullions, flattening the surface and repeating the transparent overlap. |
