| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to search for the characteristics of the theory of ‘placeness’ permeated through contemporary museum architecture in Korea, and hereby to prove the possibility of coping with the modernity in Korean architecture.In this study the theory of ‘placeness’ which is asserted by Christian Norberg Schultz has been adopted in debating contemporary architecture in Korea. Therefor the theory of ‘placeness’ has been researched to get an angle of vision on the proof of coping with the modernity in Korean architecture. Seven contemporary museum architecture which have been completed since 1990 have been examined in the view of morphology, topology, and typology which are the major factors of ‘placeness’. Throughout this case study, the post-modernity in museum architecture in Korea has been proved, which establishes that the 'placeness' is one of the alternatives for contemporary architecture in Korea. |
