Mild taste deconstructivist architecture
The content of deconstructivist architecture has already been covered in many posts so that you can get a sense of its outline. However, since it is difficult to find it one by one until I curate it on daytripkorea, I will summarize the content in the introduction and talk about space today.
-
To put it simply, deconstructivism is making it difficult to easily judge all the elements that make up a building.
-
For example, it makes it difficult to easily distinguish the elements that make up a building, such as ‘walls, floors, columns, corridors, and stairs.’ For example, in the case of DDP [Dongdaemun Design Plaza], the boundary between the wall and the floor is not easily discernible, which is an example. Furthermore, since the modern era, the way of drawing buildings has changed from drawing them in 2D to modeling them in 3D, and important things have changed. Before the modern era, it was important to look at it from the eye level of a person after it was built, so the ‘entrance’ was emphasized, but in modern architecture, especially deconstructivism, 3D modeling allows us to see how a building will look from the sky from various angles, and architecture in the context of the city becomes important, and the entrance is lost and the form of the building itself is given more priority. As a result, as the entrance disappears, the entrance of the building is not clear on one side, but it is different when viewed from all four sides, or it begins to reveal a form composed of a cubic surface [NURBS: a line first devised as a shipbuilding technique, a method of creating a natural curve caused by gravity by attaching weights to a straight line, a system that serves as the basis for modeling tools called Catia or Rhino in modern architecture. Explained through a past post about deconstructivism architecture in Busan]. Furthermore, it makes it difficult to distinguish architectural components, and the appreciation of the interior has changed significantly since the modern era. If the modern era revealed consistent intervals and rhythms through columns and windows, in deconstructivism, dynamism is emphasized in the interior space, and consistent rhythms and intervals disappear. Instead, the experiencer can feel the spatial sense differently at every moment depending on how they walk. This causes a big change in spatial experience perception. In the former case, you can grasp a pattern and predict the layout or appreciation of the space, but in the latter case, you cannot predict every moment.

Now, this is an overview of deconstructivist architecture. All the contents were covered in detail separately in previous posts, but it is still very insufficient to organize all of these contents in one post.

In this context, today's space is a space where such deconstructivist appreciation is mild. It is also the work of space artist Kwak Hee-soo, who worked on various large-scale cafe buildings such as Wave On, Le Ditour, and Arepi. However, this space is implemented in a milder way, and there are some places where a somewhat stereotypical appreciation is revealed when viewed from the exterior. Thanks to this, deconstructivist architecture, which basically shows a form that is difficult to understand at a glance, often causes antipathy, but this place is less like that. -
In a way, I am happy that this space will probably be the first step to feeling the charm of other works, just like Yeopgi Tteokbokki chose to show its taste with a mild flavor and then order it with a regular flavor to show its true taste. However, the interior of this space also reveals the impressions mentioned in the above outline, and you can sufficiently understand the characteristics of the interior space of deconstructivist architecture.

Through today's space, I hope that some people will discover their own tastes by experiencing an architectural style that they didn't know was their taste.
