| Abstract |
This thesis aims to analyze the visual perceptual effects drawn by ‘axial composition and divergence' and to interpret the architecture of Kahn in respect of `axial composition and divergence'. Axial composition of the form, the location of the entrance and divergence of internal movement were checked up about 53 works by extracting parti which is basic element of spatial composition. The 3D modeling simulation was performed for the selected 10 works in order to analyze the visual perceptual effect due to divergence of the internal movement. The reaction of the observer's actions and visual perception by ‘axial composition and divergence' is presented in the following steps. 1. Divergence of the entrance / a panorama of expanding planes. 2. Divergence of internal movement / The process of perception of visual rotation and central spatial form. ‘Perceptive form' created by `divergence' is the result of diverse and flexible series of processes which must be experienced in person in order to reach the space as a room with a definite domain and center. |
