| Abstract |
This study set out to analyze the architectural trends in Bell's works and spaces by applying the Gaze theory of Jacques Lacan to his
minimalism works, concept changes in their changing process, and the development of exhibition spaces related to him. The findings were as
follows: first, his early glass cube works sought after the reproduction of the Real Order through the repeating eyes of viewers and objects by
using exhibition lighting; second, his works in the Standing Wall category pursued the reproduction of the Real Order through the repeating
eyes of many different viewers around objects; third, his Nesting Boxes tried to reproduce the Real Order of a higher competition level in the
perception aspects, making the repetitive elements of Standing Walls converge and including even external environmental elements; fourth, there
is no decisive gaze sought after by Judd or the Key Signifiant as the core of Lacan's philosophy in Bell's formative works; and finally, Bell's
works pursue the completion of Simulacrum through the infinite repetition of Derrida's Deconstruction Philosophy through the infinite visual
repetition sought after by Gehry and Moss in the LA School of Architects who shared the same area and period with him. |
