| Abstract |
This study summarizes the characteristics of defamiliarization and ambiguous spatial boundaries, and aims to analyze the relationship between defamiliarization and ambiguous spatial boundaries. The research method is to analyze the literature on defamiliarization and ambiguous spatial boundary representation, and then conduct a case study. The case analysis focuses on 14 residential works by Kuma Kengo and Sou Fujimoto, who work in the same culture Korea, referring to ambiguity. The analysis analyzes the representation of ambiguous spatial boundaries through the principle of de-stereotyping, combining disparate forms, and shifting meanings of defamiliarization. The results of the analysis show that spatial boundaries are ambiguous in most of the works, and when material or visual transparency is used, there is spatial continuity and internal/external transposition. In addition, we were able to analyze the use of defamiliarization by transforming existing forms to express the breaking of formalization or changing the meaning through recontextualization in the use of forms or materials. It shows the organic relationship of the representational characteristics and reinforces the ambiguous spatial boundaries through defamiliarization.
Additionally, ambiguous spatial boundaries and “strangeness” are closely related. Ambiguous spatial boundaries can be analyzed through various principles of defamiliarization and can help us to escape the automatization of perception, to defamiliarize the user’s relationship with the space, and to discover and create something new. In this way, ambiguous spatial boundaries can be analyzed and applied through defamiliarization, and ambiguous spatial boundaries form an inseparable relationship with the appearance of defamiliarization. |
