Abstract |
This study is the analysis of dual aspects to the abstract architecture and Nature found in the works of great architects of modern architecture, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. Though they had used different set of architectural vocabulary, they shared the fundamentals of architectural space by keeping the relation with Nature and endowing humanity as well as pursuing abstract aesthetics, the mainstream of the arts at that time. Such balanced dualism provides an important implication to the architectural culture prone to extreme idealism due to the aspiration for the new world. |
