| Abstract |
This study is to clarify the 'otherness', which is one of the important issues in the contemporary architecture theory, can be found in the space of threshold. The 'otherness' can be found in the works which deviate from the existing social, cultural and architectural norms. In particular, the conventional asymmetric relation between the interior and the exterior can be changed through the space of threshold revealing the both. Therefore the contemporary architects induce the new cognition of the interior and the exterior through the space of threshold, which 1)depends on the cognition of observers, is 2)vague and 3)infinite-changing. According to these characteristics, the conventional relation between the interior and the exterior can be overthrewand destroyed .Especially these can be grasped through the strategies of the architects used for the cognitive threshold. The elements and effects of such strategies can be understood by analyzing the four gazings. And through various elements like material, media and skin, these strategies including text, image and symbol affect the relation between the interior and the exterior, forming the threshold of the 'otherness'. Hence unlike the fragmented phenomenology analysis of these architectures, this study elucidates these architectural strategies are connected to the property and the change of the relation between the interior and the exterior. |
