| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to find out the diverse features of architectural design through 21 case studies in Valerio Olgiati’s architectural
design works. For the classification of the characteristics with architectural expression, this research analyzed Valerio Olgiati’s projects and
categorized according to architectural planning and design factors. The result of this study is summarized as followed. The first one is that
the Valerio Olgiati has argued the new discourse of architectural design such as non-referential architecture, newness, oneness, and
contradiction in his works. The second one is that non-referential architecture of Valerio Olgiati includes diverse architectural planning such
as spatial configuration, interdependence related with structure, exterior form formation, architectural material, context and environment, and
unit formation. The third one is that there are three aspects of the architectural design and the spatial configuration in Valerio Olgiati’s
architecture. One is the topological aspect that consists with void, asymmetrical interior spatial configuration, structural interdependence,
exterior form from using various contradiction in architectural planning. The another one is the phenomenological aspect which is connected
with colored exposed concrete material and context. Lastly, complex system architecture which is related with unit formation and is expanded
to 3 dimensional mass formation. This study will provide basic data on the Valerio Olgiati’s architectural design tendency in contemporary
architecture. |
