| Abstract |
This study examines the evolution of curtain wall details in Kimm Jong Soung's architecture, focusing on high-rise buildings from the 1970s
to the 1990s. It emphasizes the profound influence of Mies van der Rohe’s design principles on Kimm’s work, focusing on the similarities
between Kimm’s curtain wall details and those of Mies. Initially, Kimm followed Mies’s formal principles, but he later reinterpreted and
developed these details to fit Korea’s industrial and architectural context, establishing his own curtain wall design philosophy. The study
explores how Kimm overcame the technological and industrial limitations of Korea at the time to apply these design principles. Despite
restricted materials and construction technologies, Kimm creatively reinterpreted Mies’s ideas through meticulous attention to curtain wall
details. His curtain wall designs go beyond simple facade treatments, serving as visual records of the evolution of Korean architecture. This
re-evaluation of Kimm’s approach to curtain walls holds significant meaning in Korean architectural history, as it highlights his achievement
in integrating structural and aesthetic elements. |
