| Abstract |
Within the realm of Korean modern architecture, young architects emerging post-2000 primarily denote those who have earned the Korean
Young Architect Award. They exhibit distinctive traits setting them apart from the previous generation of architects. These young architects
are gaining recognition as a new wave in contemporary Korean architecture, sparking expanded discussions about youth in this context. This
study delves into the youth of these young architects and explores the changes in their work, influenced by shifts in the housing market. It
emphasizes that young architects now engage in various everyday projects, often small in scale, such as single-family houses, multi-family
houses, and community living facilities. To set their work apart from traditional architecture, they employ a defamiliarization technique,
aiming to disrupt the ordinary. Drawing inspiration from Russian formalism in literature, this study derives defamiliarization techniques and
applies them to analyze the works of young architects. |
