| Abstract |
At the context of European contemporary architecture, it has faced with various problems which originates in sociality and urbanity. So its discussion about contemporary architecture have focused on this situations. Since a modern avant-garde movement, a discourse about contemporary architecture has been involved in social problems in terms of progressive. Especially a conception of ‘landscape’ has a great important position recently among contemporary architectural theories. But it has no appropriate systems of architectural theory. So even architects who significantly takes this conceptual idea are in a stat of confusion. The purpose of this study exists in this points. Eduard Bru’s theory on ‘landscape’ and the ‘New Territories, New Landscapes’ exhibition has a great importance among contemporary architectural achievements. So this study analyzes architectural projects from this exhibition, and through a critical evaluation of Eduard Bru’s theory (4 types : infiltrations, landmarks, borders, interior landscapes) In this study have reconstructed a conceptual-layers of ‘landscape’ retroactively. Particularly, according to a method of architectural settlements on social problems, in contemporary architecture a new conceptual-layers of ‘landscape’ composed with various types : such as settings of binary situations, extensions of architectural-territory, constructions of public places, arrangements of programs. As stated above an appearance of ‘landscape’ theory in contemporary architecture means a new experiment which tries to find a new architectural value positioned out of conventional ideas. It also means new systematic thoughts about a category which lies in between a architecture and a city. And we must not pay attention to a value of architecture as a object, but a relatively value of architecture. |
