| Abstract |
This study examined the types and features of the follies presented in the 1983 exhibition of Follies: Architecture for the
Late-Twentieth-Century Landscape. In this exhibition, follies were studied and presented in various ways as the landscape architecture of the
late 20th century that ranged from classical follies to new types like the deconstructivist folies of Tschumi. Types related to classical follies
include classical nymphs and neoclassical pavilions, Japanese tea houses, tents, grotto complexes, figurative pavilions and gazebo towers,
windmills, and kinetic objects. On the other hand, this study found new folly types, such as abstract arrays, texts, digital simulations, and
decompositional or deconstructive fragments. Their features include prefabricated structure, Miesian universal space, architectural prototypes,
eventful performance, allegorical narrative, architectural frame containing urban landscape, kinetic experimentality, abstract objet, semiotic text,
cyber simulation, topology, and deconstructionism. In particular, these deconstructivist follies were found to have influenced the
Deconstructivist Architecture exhibition in 1988 and the International Garden and Greenery Exposition in 1990. |
