A Study on the Existential Meaning of Modern Architectural Molding |
| Abstract |
An architecture is a molding by which the expressive desires in each age have been cencretely substantialized as a symbolic body contributing to the existence of human being.A modern architecture has been quickened as an origin of modern Design Movement that has been considered as the event of age division as being discontinued from tradition.The spiritual background of the times in terms of this particular movement is the thought of existentialism, and the object has been an innovation of formative arts.The center of the thought exclamed as "the death of God" by Fredrich Nietzche has been a problem towards the existence of human being themselves in the world of mankind.The human being has set a goal for an ideal in order to cast off the situation of collapsing the absolute value, and has chosen an instrument as a means ot reach there.And, as having been embodied by the desire to clarify the existence of human being in the world of mankind, the instrument has intended to express the molding of the complexed wohle span in distinction.As this result, a design concept towards an entirely new direction has become possessed as artificially new materials invented in this period of the times such as iron, glass and cement in parallel with the ethical justification to endow a true instrumentality.The design for new instrument was to create functionalism, naked shape, simplicity and structural beauty, and this has become a fundamental ideology of modern architectural molding.Since then, while the existence of human being has been clucidated by Jean Paul Sartre as being casual and lumping, the expression of the meaning has emerged in infinitive.In the field of modern architecture the forms of emphasizing lump quality and memorability have been appeared as being away from instrumentality. |
