2. Abstract of 'BODY' Edited by Jong Jin Kim AA Dipl., March(Harvard)
Assistant Professor, Graduate School of Architecture, Konkuk University in Korea
Relationship between body and space is fundamental in space design. The perception and concept of human body in each age directly affected the space makings of that time. Thoughts on human body are related to various periodical backgrounds such as culture, art, technology and etc. Body-Space relationship has been changed through different epochs and is being changed in the present time too. In contemporary cities, architectural programs has been fragmented and activities of individuals become more articulated. The rigidity of each architectural program has been forced to be more flexible amalgamation of diverse behaviors by dynamic urban time-space formations and patterns. Based on this current situations, new experimental designs that question the existing preconceived relationship between body and space in different views. These design experiments attempt to overcome the solid physical fixation of architectural buildings and to directly relate human body to intelligent devices, technologies, machines as well as spaces. This book 'BODY' focuses on the innovative design projects in which body, machine, and space are smartly compound as one creative organization. The purpose of this book is to examine the new Body-Space relationship as well as various case projects in contemporary fashion, furniture, interior design and architecture.
