| Abstract |
This paper begins with the investigation of the background of Avant-garde architecture's theory covering ideal cities in 19C~20C. The main problems based on modern cities include human circumstance, infra, and high density of residence. Those issues have brought some changes, such as mega-structures through network, free-developing structures based on infra, and high density residence of new form. Ideal cities and Avant garde’s experimental suggestions of 1960~70s produced several types of urban solution, such as Infrastructure’s circulation, Flexible structures of high density, and Systematic multifunctional mega-structures. The purpose of this study is to clarify the meaning of ‘Flexibility’ and ‘Mobility’ of mega-structure design shown in the TeamX architecture movements and theories after CIAM. This study shows that they produced the mega-structures which have the possibility of being sustainable open structures and also shows the contribution for network system above existing urban fabric. In each case, they had a n important role in modern cities as a starting point to discuss the relationship between architecture and urban design fields having the issues of urban circulation and multi-dimensional pedestrian network. |
