| Abstract |
Mies van der Rohe was attracted to the spreading effect of the modern media-works on culture from beginning of his career, and utilized it systematically throughout his life. It includes image build-up works such as photo-montages, modelings, publications, exhibitions and so on. In the early stage, he had concentrated on the notification of specified messages even than the realization of the projects. But his strategy was different from those employed by other avant-gardes, since it entailed a symbolization of modern man's disintegrated life and its recovery rather than a fragmentation of meaning which results from the destruction and reproduction of the object.??About the time of 1930', he had strengthened the relationship of the composition elements and spatial integration for the rationalization of system as a whole. As a consequence of it, birdeye-view and interior perspective was widely used and human entered on the stage. And with these mutations, his view moved from outside to inside and formed the theme of 'the exterior structure and the inside surface'. After 1940', he had struggled to acquire the constructivity of architecture which combine the essence-supplement, the structure- ornament, and finally arrived at the peak of the paradoxical project??aimed to overcome the fragmentation and disjunction of modern life. So, his work passed over the mere virtual world, and in this point, it is elucidated as an constructional strategy for the reconstruction of modern world. |
