| Abstract |
This study aims to examine memes in Korean contemporary architectural discourse and observe how they have evolved over time. After
extracting memes from SPACE magazines, network analysis was applied to understand their patterns. The findings revealed four periods in
Korean contemporary architecture. Initially, the discourse mainly revolved around modernism and a few figures, but over time, there was an
influx of foreign figures and diverse theories. Although modernism initially dominated, the post-2000s saw the rise of phenomenology and
post-structuralism, challenging modernism's dominance. Simultaneously, architectural discourse, once focused on simple facts and subjective
narratives, progressively engaged with theories and philosophies from other fields as time passed. |
