| Abstract |
Analogies are widely and variously used in architecture. For example, Corbusier's Museum of Endless Growth is developed from the spiral form of the snail and the design method is clearly analogical. The intention of the analogical design in the Museum of Endless Growth is not to represent. The shape of snail in the building but to apply the formative principle of the snail's growth to architecture. Corbusier abstracted a logarithmic spiral based on a principal of biological growth from the form of the snail. It is, furthermore, connected with the golden spiral as a result the principle of the spiral growth is employed in generating the architectural form. Such an application of the analogical design is very similar to the way of the Vitruvian diagram of human body. And we can find like this analytic approach in taxonomic was applied to the museum exhibition space in the 18~19c. However, The museum (I define it "fine art museum" in this study) in the 20th century used a different type of Analytic Principle Which Contrast with those of the 18~19c. This study pays attention to the point where the difference of an fine art museum and museum's exhibition space may have occurred from such differences application of the analogies. |
