| Abstract |
This is a comparative study about the works of the four foreign architects, include Carl Pruscha(Austria, 1964~74), Louis I. Kahn(USA, 1970-74), Ando Tadao(Japan, 1998) and Kim In-cheurl(Korea, 2012-13), in Nepalese belated architectural modernization after 1950’s. The results are as follows; first, in cases of Pruscha and Kahn were transplant the western modern architecture in Nepal, and their works are results of the fusion with the Nepalese traditional contexts. After a half century, Ando and Kim visited in Nepal and they also made inter-textual results as an aboriginalization on the local field. The Kim’s architectural attitudes are notable among that because he desire to catch the Nepalese locality and traditional elements from beginning phase of the project, and tried to make an another indigeneity with it. Furthermore, his next architectural works in Korea shows more advanced phases based on the experiences in Nepal. And Austrian architect Carl Pruscha and his architectural traces needed more investigation and reinterpretation for the Nepalese architectural modernization, as a first transfer of the western modernism on Nepal land. Through these inquiries, I want to make a more wide discourses about the Nepalese identity on contemporary architectural aspects. |
